Pair Passing
Instructions
Players are paired up and face one another about 8 feet apart. They then pass back and forth, making sure that they step toward their partner to pass and step to the ball to receive. Coach calls the type of pass to be thrown. Gradually, partners move further apart as they are comfortable and accurate.
After a few minutes, progress to the next step.
Using the same setup as above, players shuffle from baseline to baseline, passing the ball back and forth. Speed of their movement and distance of the pass is determined by each player's ability. This is not a race and the objective is for players to learn to pass on the move. The coach can determine which type of pass is used.
Points of Emphasis
- Step to pass.
- Follow through so the backs of your hands are together with the thumbs pointing down.
- Step to catch.
- Catch with your hands extended and guide the ball into your body to secure it into triple threat position.

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.
