Basketball passing drills, basketball shooting drills, free basketball drills

     

Setup

Four lines (A,B,C,D) with the ball starting in line A.

D                                      B

A            basket              C

Instructions

Four lines with 1 basketball.  A passes to B and follows their pass joining that line.  B receives the ball and passes to C following their pass.  C receives the ball and passes to D who is the shooter.  D receives the ball and then drives for a layup.  As soon as the layup is shot the next player in line A starts a new progression.

Variations

There are many variations to this drill.  First alter the shots of the finisher (line D).  Do some progressions with a layup.  Then do some progressions with a catch and shoot jumper.  Then do some progressions where they catch and dribble for a free throw line jumper.  Other variations are to change the pass.  Make it a bounce pass everytime.

Coaching Points

Focus on good passing and receiving of the ball.  Have the players communicate during the drill.  The receiver needs to call for the pass.  Focus on good shooting form with the finisher.
