Partnered Basketball Passing Drills
Simple Passing
You can start off with simple passing drills such as ‘chest pass’ and ‘bounce pass’, have your partner stand in front of you and begin the drill at a slow pace to develop rhythm.
After some time begin to speed up and continue the moderate pace for a few minutes, after which switch to a burst mode where you give it your all and pass as quickly as you can back and forth to your partner.
This will help build stamina, consistency and accuracy. For the maximum efficiency of this drill ensure that you have a good basketball or set of basketballs that have a good grip and bounce, this will make your practice effective.
Selecting a basketball is not hard, all you got to do is check out the Kangaroo Sportz Shop and get yourself a wonderful lasting one.
3 Player Weave
Begin the 3-player weave with three players evenly positioned around the baseline. The exercise begins with the middle player with the ball passing to one of the other players.
The player who receives the pass cuts to the basket before passing the ball back to the center player. The player in the middle then sets a screen for the player who cut to the hoop.
The player who made the cut to the basket rolls to the basket. The ball is then passed to the player who rolled to the basket by the middle player. The player who rolled to the basket now has the option of scoring or passing the ball back to the center. You can watch a demonstration Here.
To make this drill as effective as possible you would need a good sized court, even if it’s a half court the width to hold minimum 3 players in a spaced line comfortably is required. You can measure and build such a court in your Backyard with Kangaroo Courts.
Solo Basketball Passing Drills
Wall Passing Drill
Simply stand 10 feet away from a wall and conduct the drill. Pass the ball to the other wall and catch it with the same hand. Rep this process 10-20 times before switching hands.
Once you can consistently catch the ball with both hands, begin experimenting with different types of passes, such as chest passes, bounce passes, and overhead passes.
You can also make the drill more difficult by moving closer or further away from the wall, or by passing the ball with varying speeds and power.
Chair Passing Drill
The Chair Passing Drill is a dynamic solo basketball practise that improves passing accuracy, footwork, and court awareness. Begin by putting a strong chair in front of you to represent an imaginary defender or teammate.
Dribble the basketball with your dominant hand and practise making a variety of passes to the chair, such as chest passes, bounce passes and overhead passes.
Focus on precision and good passing technique as you execute these passes. The chair's location can be used to replicate various in-game scenarios, such as passing around a defender or feeding a teammate in the post.
This workout not only enhances your passing skills, but also your spatial awareness and capacity to react to various game scenarios.
Conclusion.
All in all, passing is a small but extremely important part of a basketball game. Once you master it you will be able to move the ball around the court and effectively pass it to teammates who can make the score.
