It teaches your players communication and the importance of developing a strategy.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthroughbasketball.com\/play.asp?id=1136\">10 In A Row Passing Drill<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nThis drill is similar to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breakthroughbasketball.com\/play.asp?id=1656\">Mike MacKay&#8217;s 10 In A Row Passing Drill<\/a>.\u00a0 However in this version Kirby Schepp shows you different variations, teaching points, and ways to run the drill. This drill improves passing, spacing and moving without the ball. As your players get better, it will start to resemble running an offense.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthroughbasketball.com\/play.asp?id=1449\">Position Sealing\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nThis is an intense and competitive drill that teaches players how to seal, improve angles, and watch the player&#8230;not the ball.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthroughbasketball.com\/play.asp?id=1503\">Ultimate Passing<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<strong>(One of my favorite drills that I use every year at every level &#8211; 2nd grade to high school)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis fun drill that improves passing, spacing, footwork, decision making, cutting and moving without the ball.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthroughbasketball.com\/play.asp?id=1526\">Half Court Ball Movement<\/a><\/strong> <strong>(Another favorite)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis drill teaches passing and movement. Your players will learn ball reversals and how to attack the paint with a pass.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthroughbasketball.com\/play.asp?id=1608\">Gate Dribbling<\/a><\/strong> <strong>(Another drill I really like)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis competitive drill doubles as both a dribbling and defensive 1-on-1 drill.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a follow up to the previous post and video&#8230; A Games Approach to Teaching Basketball Skills.
