Overhead and bounce pass
There are rows of players on both sidelines.
- The front player of each row has a basketball.
- These players dribble to the sideline on the other side and play the ball with a bounce pass to the second player in the row who is now automatically in front.
- The first player closes in behind and the second player now dribbles across.
The players practice with the overhead pass (with 2 hands, from above the head) and vary the distance players stand in a circle with 1 player in the middle.
- One player starts and throws the ball with a chest pass to the player in the middle.
- Then the first player runs after the ball to the middle.
- The player in the middle throws the ball to the next player in the circle and then runs after them etc.
The players stand in a circle and pass the ball to each other.
- They are free to choose who they throw to and which pass variant they use.
- To make the exercise more difficult more basketballs can be used.
