Youth Basketball Passing Drills - Passing is the lost art of basketball. Getting the ball to your teammates at the correct time and place is as important as being a good shooter or a lock down defensive stopper. Maintaining possession of the ball and running an effective youth basketball offense can only be executed through solid passing. A perfectly placed pass for an assist can be as thrilling as an acrobatic shot or a deep three-pointer. |

Passing is the lost art of basketball. Getting the ball to your teammates at the correct time and place is as important as being a good shooter or a lock down defensive stopper. Maintaining possession of the ball and running an effective youth basketball offense can only be executed through solid passing. A perfectly placed pass for an assist can be as thrilling as an acrobatic shot or a deep three-pointer.
For youth basketball players of all ages, just like ball handling and shooting, you will become a better passer the more you practice the proper basketball passing drills. Even the most experienced players miss chances to score because they are not aware of open teammates, or if they do see their teammate they are either not prepared to make the pass, or they make a bad pass.
Similar to ball handling, you must first see the floor so you know when your teammates are open. It's also true that the better you become at ball handling the better you become at passing as you will see the court and teammates better as well as develop a good feel for the ball to deliver quick and accurate passes.
Next, you must be prepared to make your pass quickly before the defense recovers and your teammate is no longer open. Finally, you must deliver the correct pass (chest, bounce, skip) away from your teammate's defender and in the best place for your teammate to be able to act quickly when receiving the pass. For example, if they are open to shoot, your pass should arrive at your teammate's chest area so they can catch the ball seamlessly as they are stepping into their shot.
It's also important that all five players on the floor learn to be effective passers. If you're a good passer from whatever position you play, you will surely see a lot more time on the floor and your teammates will love playing with you.
Below are some tips for effective passing as well as some drills for your youth basketball team's practice. You can also find more free basketball skills & drills videos and tutorials online at websites like Weplay.com.
