Basketball Passing Fundamentals

• Passing should be the first option to move the ball up the court.

• Practice passing against a wall or with a friend. Set a target and aim for it.

• Run when passing on the move, don't shuffle your feet - this slows you down.

• Always pass ahead of the receiver on the move.

• Always be a good receiver, show ten fingers and call for the ball.

• In half-court offense catch the ball and get into a triple threat position, ready for action.

• Make quick decisions. Anticipate your passing options before receiving the ball.

• Step when making a pass. This will improve your power and balance.

• Fake a pass before you make a pass. This will keep the defense off balance.

• Fake high - pass low. Fake low - pass high. Again, keep the defense guessing and off balance.

• When using a push pass, pass with the hand away from the defense.

• In general, when making a push pass to the left - use the left hand and when making a push pass to the right - use the right hand.

• Practice all passes with both hands. Improve your weak hand.

• Use baseball and overhead passes for long distance passes, such as outlets.

• Avoid passing over the top of the defense. Only do this when necessary.

• Avoid bounce passes around the three-point line and in the open court. Short, quick chest passes work better in this situation.

• Bounce passes are normally slow and easily picked off.

• Use bounce passes to feed the post.

• Avoid making bounce passes across the key area.

• Add the hand-off to your game. Many offensive options can be created from the hand-off.
