6 Passers

Directions:

1. Eight spots on the floor are occupied as pictured in the diagram

2. One basketball starts in each baseline line, though feel free to add more as the drill progresses

3. #1 passes to #8 

4. #8 passes back to #1 

5. #1 passes to #7 

6. #7 passes back to #1 

7. #1 passes to #6 

8. #6 passes back to #1, who then drives the length of the floor for a lay-up on the opposite basket

9. Follow the same pattern on the other side of the court 

10. Rotations: Follow your pass to the next line (ex. #8 would go behind #7, #7 would go behind #6, #6 would be the next shooter, #1 would go to the end of line #3)

Other Teaching Points:

• Focus on passing and catching technique

• Emphasize communicating on each pass

• This is a great conditioning drill utilizing a basketball

• Sprint to the next spot when you're a passer to make sure every spot is filled in a timely manner
