Make
The Right Play.
This week is all about passing and passing accuracy. Learn to hit your target, deliver crisp chest and bounce passes, and make the right pass while moving with your teammates.
Pass. Move. Play Together.
Start by hitting your target with accurate chest and bounce passes. Then add pivots, moving targets, passing decisions, and the Playmaker Test. Every day challenges your accuracy a little more.
Learn to step, aim, pass and catch with control. Use a partner or a safe wall target.
- 10 chest passes with a step toward the target.
- 10 bounce passes that reach the target at waist height.
- Show your hands and catch with two hands.
- Switch your lead foot each round.
- Repeat for 3 rounds.
Connect Week 1 footwork to Week 5 passing. Your feet create a passing lane.
- Start in triple threat.
- Front pivot to face your target, then make a chest pass.
- Reverse pivot to face your target, then make a bounce pass.
- Do 15 passes pivoting to the right and 15 to the left.
- Keep your pivot foot planted until the pass leaves your hands.
The play does not end after your pass. Find open space and get ready again.
- Pass to your partner.
- Cut or shuffle 3–5 steps to a new open spot.
- Show your hands and call BALL!
- Receive the return pass in a balanced stance.
- Complete 8 reps per round, changing direction.
A great passer sees where the defender is and chooses the right play.
- Set two targets or have two partners ready.
- Start in triple threat with a parent acting as a guided defender.
- If the defender blocks the high passing lane, use a bounce pass.
- If the defender blocks the low passing lane, use a chest pass.
- Complete 12 reads to each side.
YOU vs. YOU. Count clean passing sequences, not just fast ones.
- Pass to a partner or wall target.
- Move to a second marked spot and receive the ball.
- Pivot and complete a different pass (chest or bounce).
- Move back to the starting spot. That is 1 clean sequence.
- Count sequences in 60 seconds, rest 60 seconds, then try again.
