Circle Passing
Circle Passing
Set Up:
The players are placed in a circle about 20 yards in diameter. Player 1 dribbles to the center of the circle, then stops to pass the ball to a player of their choice. As they pass the ball, they call out the players name who they are passing to. Player 1 then follows their pass to switch with that player. The player who received then dribbles to the center of the circle, calls out a name and passes to the next player. The drill continues in this manner. As players become more comfortable you can add a second ball to make it more challenging.
Coaching Points:
1. Look up for a target as you dribble in.
2. Make eye contact with the player you are passing to.
3. Accelerate out of the circle after you pass.
Progressions:
1. Add a passing combination between the two players as they switch in and out.
