How to run the drill
- 1Two even teams in a half court. No dribbling.
- 2The team with the ball tries to make ten passes in a row. The player who catches the ball must call the number, or the pass doesn't count — so everyone talks, not just the loudest.
- 3A deflection, steal or dropped pass gives the ball to the other team, who start their own count.
- 4Ten in a row = one point. First to three points.
Coaching points
- Move to get open — don't stand behind a defender
- Pass away from the defence
- Fake a pass to make a pass
