A great passing drill of you play zone offense or man up out of a 1-4-1

Set Up

Put your players in lines in a 1-4-1 on the offensive end of the field. Only keep 1-2 players max inside for each line. Start the ball on a wing, and that player will carry up, and the crease player pops out opposite like a mirror. The ball carrier throws the ball to the pop player, who will then move the ball to X and backside wing as quick as possible. Once the ball gets to the opposite win, they will carry low back towards X, and the pop player mirrors high. Player will pass to the pop player, and swing the ball through point and backside wing as quick as possible. Players will go to the line they passed to.

Coaching Points & Principles

  • Spacing – Players should be speed properly, especially on the pops.. those passes should be 8-10 yards and they should be popping into shooting areas
  • Passing – We want to be able to move the ball quick vs a zone or man up, so work on good passes and moving out feet so we can spin the ball quick
