Basketball passing drills

Passing drills for sharp, on-time passes: partner passing, star passing, outlets, skips and post entries.

Lines in the four corners of the half court; pass, follow your pass, and catch on the move.

Pass to the wing, V-cut to the basket and get it back for a layup.

Passers in a small square keep the ball away from the defender(s) in the middle without dribbling.

Partners 12–15 feet apart cycling chest, bounce and overhead passes.

Feed the post from the wing against a fronting or three-quarter defender.

Rebound, pivot to the outside, and hit an outlet at the wing who pushes the ball ahead.

Drive-and-kick and skip passes across the floor to an open shooter in the weak-side corner.

Pass and follow around a five-point star — sharp passes on the move.

Partners pass two balls at once: one chest pass, one bounce pass, at the same time.
