Pass Around Panic

Players work in half court with passers inside the 3-point line and receivers outside the 3-point line. Passers organize their own targets, complete as many pass-and-return actions as possible, never passing to the same player twice in a row.

Instructions

1. Use 6 to 10 players in half court
2. Place half the players outside the 3-point line at open spots
3. Place the other half inside the 3-point line with balls
4. Each inside player passes to an outside player and gets the ball back.
5. Do not pass to the same outside player twice in a row.
6. Run as one team score challenge against the clock or compete against another group.

Coaching Points

• Pass with pace to the receiver’s target hand
• Show hands early and stay ready to catch
• Ensure receiver looks at you before passing

Variations

• Require one dribble before each pass
• Specify one type of pass for the full round
