Category: Passing
Skill Level: Youth, Middle School, High School+
Required: 1 Basketball, 7 players
Instructions:

Have six players form a circle shoulder length apart, while a 7th player will be positioned in the middle of the circle with a basketball. The other basketball will be with a player that is directly facing the player in the middle.

The drill starts when the player in the middle throws a bounce pass to the player directly to the right of the one holding the basketball. Once the pass is thrown, the player on the circle throws a chest pass to the player in the middle.

The drill continues in this way until the player in the middle has gone the full circle. When that is completed, the next person jumps in the middle and the drill is repeated until everybody has been in the middle.

Keys to the Drill
  • The drill teaches proper pass technique, coordination and quick reflexes.
  • Proper passing technique should be concentrated on by not just the middle player but all of the players on the circle.
