Basketball Passing Drills

Three players pass, cut and replace to build passing, cutting and spacing. Extra players line up evenly on the wings.

Continuous passing and cutting drill. Focus on hard, precise passes and cuts timed correctly with the ball.

Jump stops, pivots and passes around cones for 5 or more players. Land balanced on both feet and pivot with bent knees in a ready stance.

Five passing stations and a layup. Players pass and move to the next spot continuously, building precise passing and quick thinking.

Continuous shooting drill with post passes. Players move from spot to spot, pass and shoot while staying aware of the ball.

Three passing options out of a basic pick and roll. The ball handler hits the roll man, then backpedals to the arc for a catch-and-shoot.

Combines cutting, passing and shooting in one drill so players practice several skills at once.

Passing drill that pairs strong passes with lateral slides, keeping the feet from crossing on every slide.

End-of-practice layup drill where every pass, catch, rebound and finish must be clean. One mistake and the whole team starts over.

Guard drill for 2 or 3 players. Keep the dribble in rhythm with eyes up, then deliver the pass with speed and accuracy.

Five players, one ball, full court. Every trip is outlet, middle, far wing and a layup, with players rotating spots after each make.

Drive-and-kick passing around four spots for 5 or more players. Drive at game speed, kick to the corner and make the extra pass.

Three players, one ball and no dribbles, down and back. A dropped ball, bad pass or missed layup makes the rep count as zero.

Continuous full-court layups with one ball from both ends. Trains quick outlets and pushing the ball ahead with passes toward a team goal.

Four rounds of pivoting and passing: right and left pivots with bounce passes, then right and left reverse pivots with chest passes.
