Great tool for bringing focus to practices. Began using it last year...

OFTEN USED WITH...

Skill Pass and Dribble - Part 1:

Standing 10 feet away from the wall.

Using a 1 handed pass, passing from 1 hand to the other, with one bounce between passes (younger players may bounce the ball more times to allow them to control the ball before passing again).

Passing Technique

Ball Handling Circuit:

The most important thing is that you get your players used to handling the basketball. You should make it so the basketball feels like it an extension of your hand.

Individual

1-step and left hip pass:

Step with your left foot and pass off the left hip against a wall 3 m away. Make the pass return so you can catch without having to move. Then step backwards and into position to repeat the exercise.
