Basketball: Simultaneous Bounce / Chest Pass

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

Cornel

DESCRIPTION

Players line up parallel with the sidelines.

Depending on the level of your players you can start with one or two basketballs. If using two balls one player should use a chest pass with the other using a bounce pass to avoid the balls hitting in mid-air.

Duration of the each drill is 1 minute.

1. Start off with simple chest passing to each other whilst jogging on the spot. After a little while change the type of pass to a bounce pass.

2. Same as above, this time alternating the types of pass, throwing one chest and one bounce pass.

3. Players must move from one sideline to the other whilst maintaining the same distance between one another. Move the ball between one another by using simple chest passes whilst jogging. After about a minute repeat this stage using bounce passes.

4. Increase and decrease the distance between the players and move from sideline to sideline. Simple chest passes to each other whilst jogging. When both players are at the sideline, they might use a javelin or baseball pass to each other. After use bounce passes. After use exercises 2 and 3.

COACHING POINTS

Start static.

Then move from one side line to the next, keeping the same distance.

Change pass type as you go.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Chest Bounce Pass:

Step forwards with one foot.

As the weight transfers forward make a chest pass by extending your arms at chest height and bounce the ball in between you and the player to whom you are passing.

Passing Technique

Run out to receive, pivot, pass and run:

Player 3 runs to the middle of the line before receiving a pass from player 1. On receiving the ball they pivot and pass the ball to player 4 before running to join the end of the queue.

Passing

Pass and follow:

Players stand in a circle with one ball per group.

The first player with the ball starts off by passing the ball to another player and then follows their own pass.

Warmup

Pass and follow the ball:

Simple drill to improve the technique of passing, especially ball movement towards the chest and release.

The starting player rolls the ball towards the player on the other side and follows their ball, running the other side and then joins the back of the other queue.

The receiving player steps forward to and pick up the ball and executes a bounce pass. The picking up of the ball and making the bounce pass must be done in one movement.
