Passing

One-two pass: Simple V Cut:

Player 1 will pass the ball to player 2.

Player 1 will cut around the cone and down towards the next cone where they will receive the ball from player 2.

Once the ball has been received, player 1 will dribble towards the baseline and shoot.

The players will then switch lines.

Shooting

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

name your pass:

Players form a circle and have to call out the name of the person that they are going to pass to before making the pass.
