Middle Man Passing
Drill Purpose (All Ages)
This passing drill is meant to overload the middle player and will help players improve passing speed, accuracy, strength, and confidence. If done properly, the middle player really gets a workout! You can also add a twist to this drill and work on pivoting at the same time.
Instructions
- Position three players as shown in the diagram.
- Players 1 and 2 will need basketballs.
|
|
|
- Player 1 passes to 3.
- Player 3 immediately returns the pass.
|
|
|
- Player 3 turns to 2.
- Player 2 passes to 3.
- Player 3 immediately returns the pass.
|
|
|
- Player 3 turns to 1.
- Player 1 passes to 3.
- Player 3 immediately returns the pass.
- Continue for 30 seconds.

Points of Emphasis
Continually tell your players...
- Make accurate passes.
- Move as quickly as possible without sacrificing form and accuracy.
- When passing, step toward your receiver.
- When catching, extend your hands step toward the pass.
- Like shooting the ball should have a backspin to it. This is accomplished by following through on every pass.
Tip:
To make this a multi-use drill, use a specific pivot to turn (drop step, front pivot, etc).
