Players work in groups of 3, with one ball per group.
The ball starts on the side with two players. The first player in the line passes to the opposite side and then follows their own pass. The receiving player catches the ball and then also passes and follows their own pass.
Drill continues. Players must move laterally from one end of the court to the other while performing this skill.
Look for good movement, as players use side-steps to progress from one end of the court to the other.
Also ensure your players step into the pass (for extra power and accuracy) and that they use a quick burst of acceleration to sprint to the back of the opposite line after passing.
Why every session should start close to the basket. Form shooting builds the muscle memory that makes all other shooting possible.
