October 18, 2002, Newsletter Issue #80: PASSING TO THE FIRST OPEN PLAYER

Tip of the Week

To illustrate this, I usually spread five players along the length of the court. Put a player at each end line, one at each free throw line and another at mid court. Have those players relay the ball from one end line to the other and back again. To do so take EIGHT passes. Then take the FASTEST dribbler and have him try to dribble to the opposite end and back before the group of FIVE players throw EIGHT passes. The passing team ALWAYS wins (unless, of course, they drop the ball or really miss a pass). This demonstration usually enlightens young players as to the importance of passing.
