Basketball passing technique drills are designed to help you improve your passing accuracy as well as speed. While point and shooting guards are often required to focus on their passing skills, many of these drills can be performed even if you play forward or center. Basketball passing technique drills range from fast break passing drills to behind the back passing drills.
Wall Target Drills
This wall target drill is designed to improve your passing accuracy and consistency. Create three "X" targets, either with tape or cardboard, and place them on a wall at different heights. Stand 10 feet away from the target and throw passes at each of the three targets. Throw a pass at each target 10 times before moving back an additional five feet from the wall. Perform different types of passes each time, working on your overhead pass, chess pass and bounce pass.
Double Dribble
Designed to improve your timing when you pass the ball, this technique works on your technique and accuracy as well. Grab a basketball and have a partner stand a few feet away from you with a ball. Have your partner throw you a chest pass while you simultaneously throw him a bounce pass. After catching his pass, alternate the drill by throwing him a chest pass and having him throw you a bounce pass.
Behind The Back Pass
This passing drill is designed to improve your behind-the-back pass as well as your passing accuracy. With a partner standing five feet away on your right hand side, take the ball in your left hand and hold it between your palm and wrist. From here, wrap your arm behind your left side until the ball is directly behind your back. Once it is right behind your back, release the ball towards your partner. Repeat the same passing drill with your right arm.
Triangle Passing Drill
This drill is designed to improve your chest passing from different angles. Stand with two partners, each one five feet away from you until you create a triangle. From here, perform a chest pass to the player on your right and have him perform a chest pass to the third player in the triangle. Once the ball comes back to you, pass the ball in the opposite direction from your original pass.
