Basketball: Wall Pass with footwork

This session has been designed to get all your players involved, improving their passing, receiving and pivoting to achieve a higher passing completion with fewer turnovers

Have cones set up as shown in the image.

Players will start at the 1st cone and defensive slide from cone to cone.

Once the player gets their outside foot to the cone the player will push off of that foot and change direction.

Set up five cones on the court. The first player then runs up to the obstacle and does either a L-Cut, S-Cut, change of direction with turn before moving on to the next cone. The next player goes when the player has reached the first cone.

Player on the baseline is a cutter and player on the top is a passer.

The cutter runs towards the key until one foot is inside the key then they change direction and move towards the ball. When they are free they must signal for the ball with their outside hand.

Once they receive the ball they can then square up towards the basket and go for a shot or drive for a lay up.

Blue 1 moves to the middle to receive a pass from red 1, as they catch the ball they must land with either a jump stop or a stride stop.

Blue 1 then pivots on the correct foot to face the line they came from. They then pass to the next player in line. Blue 1 then pivots again to face where the pass came from and runs to join the back of that line.

The drill is then repeated.

Ensure the players catch the ball in the air. Younger and inexperienced players tend to catch the ball then perform a jump/stride stop.

The player in the middle must perform a pivot with the ball. If they land with a stride stop they must not move the foot that landed first.
