Improve Assists - Speed Passing

Teamwork makes the dream work. This plan will have your players passing the ball intuitively to each other enabling them to move the ball quicker across court, especially in those fast break situations

OFTEN USED WITH...

Circle Pepper Pot:

Pass back to the person that passed it to you. Work around clockwise to begin then progress to 1,2,3,4 calling out 5s name before passing to him/her.

Passing

Lead Pass:

One player stands on each cone with a fifth player standing between two of the players, with the ball in hand.

The player in front of the player in possession should set off on a lead run and receive the pass from the fifth player.

After running onto the pass the next player in the square should make a lead run, looking to receive the next pass.

After passing players should continue to run until they reach the unoccupied cone.

Passing

Chest Pass 2:

Start with legs shoulder width apart. Step forwards. As the weight is transferred forwards make a chest pass, pushing the ball out from the chest and releasing the ball when your arms are fully outstretched. The transfer of weight gives extra power.
