pass and run:

Players set up as shown in the diagram.

The player who makes the first pass, will run around the outside of the circle and back to their original spot.

The rest of the players in the circle will pass the ball around.

If the person running gets around the circle and back to their original spot before the ball gets there they are the winners.

Passing

Pass in sequence:

Players dribble around the court and pass the ball in sequence e.g. 1 passes to 2, then 2 passes to 3 etc.

Make sure that players do not bump into other teams.

8 man passing drill:

For this drill the minimum number is 8 players but more players can participate by joining to form a queue behind number 2, 3, or 4 on either side. Although only shown on the left side of the court, this drill is run simultaneously on both sides. The aim of this drill is to look at good passing to a moving player and the ability to send a good pass for a player to perform a lay-up without needing to put the ball on the floor or travel.
