50 passes – keep away with no dribbling or 1 dribble,
everyone playing (2 teams), first team to 50 passes
wins. If a player scores, count it as 5 passes and his
team keeps the ball. If he misses a shot, give the
ball to the other team. You can have a coach always
play with the defense to make it more challenging for
the offense.

Bobby Knight hHe states ” The player should pass away from the defense rather than to the offensive
man”.

make a circle of players, and have one player in the middle. 2 seconds to pass, can’t throw higher than D
can reach and can’t throw to the first player on
either side of passer. Use ball fakes and look off D.
If D deflects pass, he replaces passer. Bounce passes
are effective since D is usually about halfway between
passer and receiver.

Basketball Passing Drill #1: Chest Pass

Chest Pass it should be the first basketball passing drill taught. Chest pass starts first, you hold the ball with two hands on the side holding tightly in your chest with your elbows out. Your in triple threat position. You step into the passing the ball and extending your hands outward so that your palms are facing out and your thumbs are facing the player you passed to. Remember it’s a chest pass so you should be hitting the other player in the chest. Chest pass, one of the best basketball passing drill

Basketball Passing Drill #2: BOUNCE PASS

The bounce pass is where the pass hits the floor before reaching the other player. The pass should bounce 2/3 of the way to the other player. You should follow through as the same as the chest pass with your palms of your hand facing out and your thumbs are facing the player you passed to.

Basketball Passing Drill #3: Overhead Pass

This were you have the ball over your head. You make a pass using your upper body strength, but don’t forget to have a good follow through with your wrist having your palms facing out and your thumbs are facing the player you passed to.

Basketball Passing Drill #4: FAKE ONE to MAKE ONE

Basketball passing drill, but keeping this idea fake one to make one. This was drilled in my head at a very early age by coaches, and I think you should have this one drilled in as well. Fake a pass to make a pass. It’s a simple idea, but trust me it will save you a lot of turnovers, headaches, and even sprints. One other tip is not to overfake. This tip is not saying fake twenty times to make a pass. Take for what it’s worth. Fake one to make one. All it takes is one good hard fake and then you go the other way and make a good hard solid pass! Remember basketball passing drill, it’s not a good pass unless it’s a completed pass. Meaning if it’s a turnover then it’s not a completed pass and the other team is on the other end scoring.

Basketball Passing Drill #5: Passing to the POST

Making passes to the Low Post players, should be 99% of the time a bounce pass. You have to make sure your at a good angle to make the pass, and usually your going to have to take a side step to make a good solid crisp bounce pass.

50 made passes
take 3 players. 2
players who are the passers spaced about 10 feet apart
with 1 person in the middle. The person in the middle
stays in the middle until he can get a hand on the
ball as it is trying to be passed between the other two.
The middle person goes to the player who caught the
ball and applies pressure trying to get a hand on the
ball. Meanwhile, the passers are learning to pivot and
protect, reverse pivot on the overplay to pass on the
other side, fake a pass to make a pass, and so on. The
drill continues for a specified amount of time. No lob
passes are allowed, and the receiver must be able to
catch the ball without moving.

Bobby Knight said “The player should pass
away from the defense rather than to the offensive
man”.
