Nice idea/detail. i will also use that with my girls team here in Portugal. Timming of pass still is one of the most difficult things to teach but its so very important for sucess.

Everything is important. Communication in whatever way unique and subtle is a must indeed. Thank you very much.

I been using this tactic for quite some time coaching my son's teams. I call it "Lead the passer". Up high and down low away from the defender.

keep sending the drill rationales w/ each new drill; these coach "hints" (eg., show hands target or do not pass ball) are cryptic & the kids can immediately adopt it practise.

That's really a simple but very effective strategy, most players and coaches tend to forget about this simple things

The target hand is something I've focused on with my teams for the past 20+ years, and it works! I've used it with girls and boys of all ages and skill levels. Not only does it become habit, it focuses on teamwork quite a bit as well!

Thanks for the tip. I will try it out with my 13 year olds and see how it works. The other passing rule I am enforcing is to use bounce passes for maximum security. I find chest passes get intercepted too frequently. Bounce passes are much safer.

Coach i am a freshman and i made JV this year and i have good ball handling but i am a shorter guard and when i pass my passes get blocked by my defender what is a way i can improve my passing on defenders that are bigger than me

My guess would be that you need to use more ball fakes. If you want to throw a pass into the post, fake high and go low. If you want to throw an overhead pass, fake low and go high.
If the pass isn't there, don't throw it.

I am a young 22 year old coach, coaching JV girls basketball. Our biggest issue has been turnovers and I hope these tactics will become of good use. This is one area that needs to become of point of emphasis and these seem to be some good tips. I have a team of athletes so they should be able to catch on quickly. Thanks for the tips.

Will this work with the 3rd and 4th grade level?

Hi Smitty,
I would think so, but I have never tested it out with 3rd & 4th graders. It's probably not a major concern at tha age, but you can try it.

Does anyone know of a drill(s) to teach youths (9-10 yr olds) how to move without the ball to locations where they can receive a pass? I see alot of youths not in places to receive a pass (in reference to where is the ball and the defense) and the result is a lot of "one-on-one" by the dribbler, most of the time resulting in a turnover.

Jorge,
Here's an excellent drill provided by Ray Lokar. It teaches players how to move and get open.

Im really liking this and I will probably emphasize it. If you cut and want the ball, let them know where you want it. If they dont let you know, dont throw the ball. Nice, Bo Ryan is a great coach and thank you also Jeff!
