Hi Brandon,
The player who is going to receive the pass should step towards the ball while it is in the air to get to the ball before the defender does. If the offensive player just waits for the ball to get to him, the defender will often step in front of the ball and steal it. Stepping into the pass will reduce turnovers on stolen passes.

We are a homeschool group teaching elementary grades 1-3 basketball. When passing the ball in the above practice, do they bounce the ball half way to their partner, or is it a complet in air pass? Is there a practice where they bounce the ball halfway to their partner rather than 100% in the air pass?
I have learned a lot reading all your material and wanted to say a big thank you.

Hi Brenda,
You can incorporate either the "bounce" pass or the "air" pass with this drill. I would highly advise you switch between the two. Either practice to practice or halfway through the drill.

It's basically a defensive slide. The slide/shuffle as they are passing. It really doesn't matter. They key is just to start moving down the court so you have to pass while moving.

what if you throw a chest pass and your teammate catches the ball with 2 hands and then start 2 dribble?

Brittany - In a game that is legal. However dribbling is not part of this particular drill.

Can you run down court while passing or only slide shuffle?

Paul, you can it's fine to do whatever you want. I have done both shuffle and run. I like to use this as a warmup drill.

Are you talking about teaching a two handed chest pass? I would not teach a chest pass any more. I cant even think of a situation where it would be necessary. That is old school. I teach a twist pass from a power position. We will run a drill called race track. we go down one side of the basketball court. I have my players jump stop peek up the floor and twist pass back to partner. Then we come back down the other side of floor. It might not be for everyone but its work for us.

Coach Hart - IF you find something that works for you, go for it. But I used something similar to this in my youth camps. You have to teach young kids the basics before you can move on to something a little more difficult. At times we as coaches think that passing is a lost art.... kids today don''t worry about passing, its about dunking and the 3 ball. On another part of this site, there was a 14 year old point guard that wanted to dunk... that is the last thing that I would worry about my point guard doing. Chest pass Bounce pass Step out and reach around pass Crossover and reach around pass Baseball pass Over the head pass ( which I hated because we were typically undersized ) I called this the I T pass.... INSTANT TURNOVER.

Thanks, Coach Hart! Most of the passes we execute in a half-court setting is a push pass. That is where you have one hand behind the ball and one hand on the side of the ball. The hand is almost positioned as if you were going to shoot the ball. If you are passing to your right, your right hand is behind the ball. Passing to your left, your left hand is behind the ball. This helps keep the ball away from your defender. I do still teach a chest pass for direct passes and transition passes. Are there any videos I can reference of the twist pass?
