Basic Tenets of Passing and Moving

How to move into space individually:

1. Use a process of moving away from the space that you 

want to use and move back into it (“pop in, pop out,” and 

vice versa)

2. Use L, C, V cuts, etc.

3. Get in front or to the side of the defender.

4. Watch your opponent’s eyes. Are they watching the ball 

or you? Can they see both? the moment you see them 

look at the ball, change direction and move into space.

5. When you decide to move, bend your knees, change direction, change pace, over a target.

How to pass into space:

1. Pass to the inside.

2. Pass to the outside.

3. Lead pass.

4. Choice of pass.

5. Speed of pass.

Tips for Developing Anticipation Skills

You can practice developing anticipation skills at any time—even while watching a game or practice—even if you're not playing.

1. Identify your target: Identify the target whose movement you want to anticipate.  This could be the ball or an opposing athlete.

2. Establish spatial awareness relative to your target: Be aware of where your target is relative to where you are positioned and where you are moving to.

3. Identify likely movements: Quickly think of what movements are most likely in the situation and by this player. For example if it's a penetrating point guard at the top of the key, the movement might likely be a drive to your right or left.

4. Look for the earliest "committed" movement cue: Watch for the instant the target commits to his move and respond immediately to the target's direction (if watching, imagine proper response.)

5. Visualize: Immediately after the play, visualize the movements and cues that just took place (which takes just a few seconds) and what the final committed movement was. You will store this information in your brain and continue to build experience each time you do it.

Using your Ipad film a student in your class completing throwing and catching actions.

Use the information below to create a checklist table with a rating scale to rate your partner's throwing and catching ability. Also include a  space for written feedback where you summarise the information you ahve collected in the table.

Share your feedback with your partner and your teacher.
