OFTEN USED WITH...

Skill Pass and Dribble - Part 1:

Standing 10 feet away from the wall.

Using a 1 handed pass, passing from 1 hand to the other, with one bounce between passes (younger players may bounce the ball more times to allow them to control the ball before passing again).

Passing Technique

2 Balls - Catch and Pass Progression:

Players stand 20 feet apart.

Players pass over hand and must control the ball with the hand the ball was passed to.

Warmup

Behind the back pass:

Stand about 10 feet away from a wall.

Pass the ball around your back so it bounces back on your front side. Once you catch the ball again, you wrap it around your back again and continue the drill in the same way.
