Passing Drill – Race the Runner

This basketball drill is a great illustration of how passing the ball is faster than running with it. It’s also a fun way to get some extra conditioning.

Keys to Success: Sprinters must run as fast as they can between pylons and 3-point line for Option 1. Passers must catch, pivot to face the next Passer and throw a hard pass.

Elapsed Time: Run the drill until every player has been the Sprinter twice (approximately 10 minutes). Run the drill at both ends of the court or use multiple lines (Option 2) so the Sprinter runs the full length of the court against 6 or 7 Passers.
