Passing is one of the fundamental skills in basketball that all kids should focus on when learning the game. This is a simple drill that teaches the youth how to pass and catch while also developing the idea of cutting after a pass. This will get the kids into a good habit of passing then cutting, setting themselves up for future success!
Divide the players into small groups of 3-5 and have each group break into 2 lines, with 1 ball at the front of one of the lines. Initially, lines should be approximately 10-15 feet apart.
DESCRIPTION
  • Have players start by passing to their opposite line
  • After each pass, players will follow their pass to join the back of the opposite line
