Warm Up

Organizational / Instructions

* Split players into groups of 5 or 6 (dependant on numbers) and have the coach take a group to half the court.

* Set the groups into a circle and place one player in the middle (they will be it first).

* Groups will be told about how to do a chest pass and the technique used to do so.

* If the ball touches the floor then the last player to touch the ball now goes into the middle and this will continue going until warm up is over.

* For now the players will stay static so they can get used to doing a chest pass.

* The other end of the basketball court can be used if needed.

Coaching Points

* Players should place a W on the ball with their hands before passing.

* When pushing the ball away from them, they should keep their arms down and straight to allow better force better force of the ball.

* Players must communicate and call on whoever they're passing the ball to.

Progressions / Adaptations

* Add in a second defender

* encourage the players to speed up and pass faster.

Adaptations: Slow the players down and allow them to complete passes nice and slowly.

Technical Practise

Organizational / Instructions

* Players will be asked to get into pairs and to get a ball between them.

* The person with the ball will line up on the first white line and their partner will stand at the first set of cones.

* Players will practise their chest pass power and technique to see how far they can get the ball to their partner.

* Once the pair finish 5 passes without dropping the ball, their partner will move back to the next set of cones until at the top and then switch positions.

Coaching Points

* Keep the ball chest level and aim for their partners chest a the target.

* Momentum when stepping forward and pushing outwards with their arms to keep a good motion of control

Progressions / Adaptations

Adaption: if unable to reach shorten the cones distance or take away the furthest conies if no pair is able to make it there.

Progression: Add in a further set of cones, but not a hugely great distance.

Progression: Added in competition to test patience and control when passing between pairs testing their passing under pressure. (first to 5 passes at each set of cones)

Game Related Practise

* Players will be put in 2 teams of 6 and asked to line up behind a starting cone.

* The player at the beginning of the line must dribble a ball up to the cone in front of them, turn to face the rest of their team and chest pass back to them.

* Once they have done that, they can them run back to the end of their teams line and sit down to show their shot is over.

Coaching Points

* Even though its a race, ensure you're in control of the ball.
