1
00:00:04,159 --> 00:00:06,199
what's up Hooper's it's coach Alex with

2
00:00:06,199 --> 00:00:08,329
pink pro basketball and in today's video

3
00:00:08,329 --> 00:00:10,369
we're gonna go over the top five passes

4
00:00:10,369 --> 00:00:12,740
or passing drills that you can use to

5
00:00:12,740 --> 00:00:16,569
become a better passer let's get started

6
00:00:16,569 --> 00:00:18,680
alright guys well like I said in this

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,210
video we're gonna go over five different

8
00:00:20,210 --> 00:00:22,339
passes that you can use as drills to

9
00:00:22,339 --> 00:00:25,249
work on them as well alright let's dive

10
00:00:25,249 --> 00:00:26,569
right into it the first one we're gonna

11
00:00:26,569 --> 00:00:29,510
work on is a basic chest pass all right

12
00:00:29,510 --> 00:00:31,940
so I've got buddy out here obviously his

13
00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:34,610
hands are up so when we're working on a

14
00:00:34,610 --> 00:00:36,949
chest pass we're passing the ball to our

15
00:00:36,949 --> 00:00:38,840
teammates we want to make sure we're

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,550
hitting them you know chest level where

17
00:00:40,550 --> 00:00:42,890
they can catch the ball and shoot so a

18
00:00:42,890 --> 00:00:45,080
lot of the passes will come in this area

19
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,570
here as if he had his hands down ready

20
00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:49,850
to shoot yes he may fall over because

21
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:51,350
he's not you know

22
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:52,970
a real human being but he's my best

23
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:55,730
friend okay so with the chest pass right

24
00:00:55,730 --> 00:00:57,499
now the focus is here we want to start

25
00:00:57,499 --> 00:00:59,660
in a triple threat position and we want

26
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:01,580
to step now a lot of the times you may

27
00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:03,920
be taught to step with your strong side

28
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,539
foot alright so if I'm a right-handed

29
00:01:05,539 --> 00:01:07,880
player I want to be taught to you know

30
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,980
step with that right foot forward so

31
00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:11,570
let's work on that let's start in our

32
00:01:11,570 --> 00:01:13,640
triple threat position and then when we

33
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,260
go to make the pass we want to step with

34
00:01:15,260 --> 00:01:16,910
our strong foot so if you're a

35
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:18,529
left-handed player you would step with

36
00:01:18,529 --> 00:01:19,880
your left foot if you're right-handed

37
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,230
player going to step with your right

38
00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:23,419
foot all right so I'm here and I just

39
00:01:23,419 --> 00:01:25,430
want to step and throw the chest pass

40
00:01:25,430 --> 00:01:27,590
now the chest pass means the ball that

41
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:29,750
I'm passing from it's coming from my

42
00:01:29,750 --> 00:01:31,340
chest right because there's a lot of

43
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:33,440
different passes a bounce pass and

44
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,720
overhead pass behind the back things

45
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,640
like that but with the chest pass we're

46
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,650
here we're gonna step and now when I

47
00:01:39,650 --> 00:01:41,870
throw it I want to hit buddy in the

48
00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:43,730
chest or in his hands like I said his

49
00:01:43,730 --> 00:01:45,739
hands are up we're gonna imagine that

50
00:01:45,739 --> 00:01:47,510
they're down and he's ready to shoot the

51
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:49,459
basketball okay so I want to show you

52
00:01:49,459 --> 00:01:50,989
the chest pass and a few different

53
00:01:50,989 --> 00:01:53,419
angles in full speed pay attention to my

54
00:01:53,419 --> 00:01:56,360
feet the release of my hands and how I'm

55
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,190
snapping that ball through cuz if you

56
00:01:58,190 --> 00:02:00,169
throw a chest pass soft it's not gonna

57
00:02:00,169 --> 00:02:01,879
get there you really want to put some

58
00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:04,309
steam on it and get that ball to come

59
00:02:04,309 --> 00:02:06,140
out nice and fast to get to your

60
00:02:06,140 --> 00:02:08,660
teammate as quick as possible alright so

61
00:02:08,660 --> 00:02:09,529
the first one you're gonna see in

62
00:02:09,529 --> 00:02:12,110
full-speed is the chest pass

63
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:15,219
[Music]

64
00:02:17,620 --> 00:02:20,700
[Music]

65
00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:23,009
all right now the next pass we're gonna

66
00:02:23,009 --> 00:02:25,530
be working on is it bounce pass okay so

67
00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:26,819
again we want to be in that triple

68
00:02:26,819 --> 00:02:28,890
threat position and we want to make sure

69
00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:31,110
that we step in with that foot that I

70
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:32,940
talked about you're right-handed I want

71
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:34,110
to step with our right foot if we're

72
00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:36,149
left hand one step with our left foot

73
00:02:36,149 --> 00:02:38,429
okay so now here's a couple things with

74
00:02:38,429 --> 00:02:40,140
the bounce pass if I'm throwing a bounce

75
00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:43,140
pass I don't want to bounce the ball far

76
00:02:43,140 --> 00:02:45,090
away where it takes two bounces maybe

77
00:02:45,090 --> 00:02:47,520
even three bounces to get to my teammate

78
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,770
I don't want to bounce the ball too

79
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:51,750
close to their feet right where it comes

80
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:53,789
up and hits their ankles hits their

81
00:02:53,789 --> 00:02:56,189
knees or anything of that nature when I

82
00:02:56,189 --> 00:02:58,140
throw the bounce pass I want that ball

83
00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:00,599
to bounce at a good spot so when it

84
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:03,149
bounces up it comes straight up to the

85
00:03:03,149 --> 00:03:06,179
chest of my teammate or my target

86
00:03:06,179 --> 00:03:08,069
alright so buddy's right there and I'm

87
00:03:08,069 --> 00:03:10,259
here I want to feel that bounce pass so

88
00:03:10,259 --> 00:03:13,140
when it bounces boom it hits it right in

89
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:16,170
his chest he's able to stand up still

90
00:03:16,170 --> 00:03:19,080
Henriot receive the pass alright so with

91
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,670
a bounce pass it's important that the

92
00:03:20,670 --> 00:03:23,039
bounce placement is where you need it

93
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:24,659
right we don't want it too far where it

94
00:03:24,659 --> 00:03:26,759
takes multiple bounces to get there we

95
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:28,110
don't want to bounce it too close where

96
00:03:28,110 --> 00:03:29,879
it comes up and now your teammates

97
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:31,860
reaching down by their ankles we want

98
00:03:31,860 --> 00:03:33,929
that ball to bounce and come straight up

99
00:03:33,929 --> 00:03:36,420
to where they want the basketball all

100
00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:38,459
right so the bounce pass is an excellent

101
00:03:38,459 --> 00:03:41,429
pass a pass to use and transition off of

102
00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:43,800
a pick-and-roll drive into the basket

103
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,050
right you have to be able to use it and

104
00:03:46,050 --> 00:03:48,689
incorporate it into your game okay so

105
00:03:48,689 --> 00:03:51,090
again we want to step with that right

106
00:03:51,090 --> 00:03:54,149
foot or left foot and when we step right

107
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:57,420
you might want to just cannonball it or

108
00:03:57,420 --> 00:03:59,610
football throw it with one hand or your

109
00:03:59,610 --> 00:04:02,099
like this to try to bounce it as you get

110
00:04:02,099 --> 00:04:03,959
older and as you continue to work on

111
00:04:03,959 --> 00:04:05,610
your game you'll be able to throw

112
00:04:05,610 --> 00:04:07,590
one-handed bounce passes but for now

113
00:04:07,590 --> 00:04:10,409
let's go with two hands to the side now

114
00:04:10,409 --> 00:04:12,090
when you throw it through then it's

115
00:04:12,090 --> 00:04:14,099
gonna be like a one-handed push so if

116
00:04:14,099 --> 00:04:16,649
you're looking from behind I want to

117
00:04:16,649 --> 00:04:18,899
throw it here so it is like a one-handed

118
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:20,879
pass but we're still have the ball in

119
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:23,520
two hands until we released it then it's

120
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,070
coming out of one hand okay so I want to

121
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:27,240
show you what that looks like right now

122
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,740
in full speed check out the bounce pass

123
00:04:30,740 --> 00:04:40,390
[Music]

124
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:42,410
all right well I'm sure you're getting a

125
00:04:42,410 --> 00:04:44,660
real kick out of me passing the ball to

126
00:04:44,660 --> 00:04:47,000
buddy and him falling over but the main

127
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,470
thing I really want you to pay attention

128
00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:50,300
to is the technique of the passes and

129
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:51,680
the things that I'm talking about the

130
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,450
detail that goes along with becoming a

131
00:04:53,450 --> 00:04:55,310
great passer the placement of the

132
00:04:55,310 --> 00:04:57,140
basketball the placement of the bounce

133
00:04:57,140 --> 00:04:58,940
pass things like that where you're

134
00:04:58,940 --> 00:05:00,590
looking for the technique of your pass

135
00:05:00,590 --> 00:05:02,510
are all important I want you to think

136
00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:04,310
about that while you're watching all

137
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:05,570
right so now the third pass we're gonna

138
00:05:05,570 --> 00:05:07,070
be talking about is the overhead pass

139
00:05:07,070 --> 00:05:09,140
where the Skip pass that you make right

140
00:05:09,140 --> 00:05:12,110
with the overhead pass now instead of

141
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:13,940
being down here and throwing a bounce

142
00:05:13,940 --> 00:05:16,070
pass or a chest pass we're gonna be up

143
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:18,500
here so when we step on this pass we

144
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:20,240
want to step again with the foot that

145
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,320
we've talked about throughout this

146
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,870
entire video and throw a good pass so if

147
00:05:23,870 --> 00:05:26,480
I'm throwing it at the wall I want to

148
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,090
step above my I want to step the ball is

149
00:05:29,090 --> 00:05:31,160
above my head and I want to snap that

150
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,490
ball as hard as I can because a lot of

151
00:05:34,490 --> 00:05:36,650
the times I'm gonna be throwing it from

152
00:05:36,650 --> 00:05:37,220
here

153
00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:38,930
across the court so I've got to put some

154
00:05:38,930 --> 00:05:41,570
power on it to get it to my teammate

155
00:05:41,570 --> 00:05:44,120
okay so again we're in our triple threat

156
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,280
position and when we step we got the

157
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,410
ball head above our head and we snap

158
00:05:48,410 --> 00:05:50,930
that ball as hard as we can so it comes

159
00:05:50,930 --> 00:05:52,790
back like we're throwing it against the

160
00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:54,950
wall or so we can get it across the

161
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:58,040
court to our teammate okay so this is

162
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,740
the overhead pass again make sure you're

163
00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:02,240
paying attention to the technique that

164
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,340
you see in the full-speed clips rather

165
00:06:04,340 --> 00:06:06,020
than buddy trying to catch the ball and

166
00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:08,570
falling down alright again the main

167
00:06:08,570 --> 00:06:10,520
purpose of this video is all the passing

168
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,320
that you're seeing so with the overhead

169
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,180
skip pass make sure you're taking that

170
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:16,520
step and you're snapping that ball above

171
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,500
your head and throwing it as hard as you

172
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:20,350
can so that ball can get to the

173
00:06:20,350 --> 00:06:23,150
recipient as fast as possible because if

174
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:25,970
we throw float balls right that gives

175
00:06:25,970 --> 00:06:28,250
the defense a lot more time to react and

176
00:06:28,250 --> 00:06:30,410
try to steal the basketball all right so

177
00:06:30,410 --> 00:06:32,690
let's have a look at the third pass this

178
00:06:32,690 --> 00:06:35,270
is the overhead pass in full speed

179
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:43,850
[Music]

180
00:06:45,610 --> 00:06:48,170
all right so these next couple passes

181
00:06:48,170 --> 00:06:50,899
are for those that are more confident

182
00:06:50,899 --> 00:06:53,059
and comfortable making a behind-the-back

183
00:06:53,059 --> 00:06:54,680
pass so the first one we're going to do

184
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,080
is it behind the back bounce pass so

185
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,640
this is a fourth type of pass we've gone

186
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,770
over all right so now the bounce pass

187
00:07:00,770 --> 00:07:02,749
behind the back you're not gonna be

188
00:07:02,749 --> 00:07:04,760
straight up squared up with your you

189
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,290
know your teammate because if I throw

190
00:07:06,290 --> 00:07:08,059
behind the back pass I'm gonna have to

191
00:07:08,059 --> 00:07:10,640
like really turn my entire body so

192
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,140
behind the back pass this could be like

193
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:13,490
we're running in transition right now

194
00:07:13,490 --> 00:07:15,080
buddy's on that left side of the court

195
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,360
I'm pushing on the right so with the

196
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,860
behind the back bounce pass it's the

197
00:07:18,860 --> 00:07:21,860
same thing as its bounce pass we don't

198
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:24,020
want to bounce that pass the ball too

199
00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:25,969
far away where it's taking multiple

200
00:07:25,969 --> 00:07:28,010
bounces to get there we don't want to

201
00:07:28,010 --> 00:07:30,110
throw it low when it comes and it hits

202
00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:32,779
it our teammate it's bouncing in towards

203
00:07:32,779 --> 00:07:34,809
their ankles we want that ball to bounce

204
00:07:34,809 --> 00:07:38,059
boom right into the hands of our

205
00:07:38,059 --> 00:07:39,499
offensive players and what that ball

206
00:07:39,499 --> 00:07:41,779
will come right up to alright so as I'm

207
00:07:41,779 --> 00:07:44,959
running I've got the ball boom so in a

208
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:46,790
stationary position you're gonna be here

209
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:48,529
and we just want to throw that behind

210
00:07:48,529 --> 00:07:50,990
the back bounce pass even that was still

211
00:07:50,990 --> 00:07:52,999
a little low but that's how we want it

212
00:07:52,999 --> 00:07:55,459
to be right we want that ball to bounce

213
00:07:55,459 --> 00:07:56,809
like that I just need to put a little

214
00:07:56,809 --> 00:07:59,390
more power on it so it comes up a little

215
00:07:59,390 --> 00:08:01,550
higher to the hands over the offensive

216
00:08:01,550 --> 00:08:03,830
player would be alright so now with this

217
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:05,089
with the behind the back

218
00:08:05,089 --> 00:08:06,890
like I said we're stationary we're

219
00:08:06,890 --> 00:08:09,589
facing this direction now and we want

220
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:11,089
when we do this we want to take this

221
00:08:11,089 --> 00:08:14,059
step here and go behind the back because

222
00:08:14,059 --> 00:08:15,559
if I go behind the back now with this

223
00:08:15,559 --> 00:08:17,630
leg back here it's a good chance that I

224
00:08:17,630 --> 00:08:19,899
can hit that leg so I want to be here

225
00:08:19,899 --> 00:08:23,450
boom and now when I go to pass it's that

226
00:08:23,450 --> 00:08:26,149
last step okay so we want to make sure

227
00:08:26,149 --> 00:08:27,800
again that we're bouncing the ball at

228
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,899
the right spot in the right area to come

229
00:08:29,899 --> 00:08:32,029
up and hit our teammate in the hand so

230
00:08:32,029 --> 00:08:33,410
this is the behind the back bounce pass

231
00:08:33,410 --> 00:08:36,440
here it is in full speed

232
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:46,640
I Hooper's the fifth pass we're gonna

233
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,260
work on is another behind the back

234
00:08:48,260 --> 00:08:49,940
variation but now we're gonna go with a

235
00:08:49,940 --> 00:08:52,070
behind the back chest pass so we're not

236
00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:53,420
bouncing it but we're just going with

237
00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:55,910
the behind the back pass so now instead

238
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:57,740
of putting that ball on the floor we

239
00:08:57,740 --> 00:08:59,030
wanted to just throw it straight in the

240
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:01,640
air right again we're focused on and

241
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,130
concentrating on hitting our teammate in

242
00:09:04,130 --> 00:09:06,230
their hands all right so I've got buddy

243
00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:08,360
out here this entire video and I'm just

244
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,620
showing you I'm trying to hit him in

245
00:09:09,620 --> 00:09:11,300
this area here where his hands would be

246
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:13,190
when he's trying to be ready to shoot

247
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:14,180
the basketball

248
00:09:14,180 --> 00:09:16,160
all right so if I'm showing you against

249
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,430
this wall here behind the back pass I

250
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:21,140
don't want to throw it too high

251
00:09:21,140 --> 00:09:23,330
obviously and I don't want to throw it

252
00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:25,760
too low where it's hitting my teammates

253
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,590
ankles or feet you want to throw that

254
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:29,930
ball chest level so they can catch it

255
00:09:29,930 --> 00:09:31,460
right we want to put some heat on it

256
00:09:31,460 --> 00:09:33,290
meaning we're gonna put some speed on it

257
00:09:33,290 --> 00:09:35,420
so it gets to our teammate as quick as

258
00:09:35,420 --> 00:09:37,430
possible all right we don't want that

259
00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:39,290
ball to come out slow where the defender

260
00:09:39,290 --> 00:09:41,510
can react to make a play on it again

261
00:09:41,510 --> 00:09:43,520
this could be in a transition situation

262
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,660
you might just want to make a

263
00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:46,070
behind-the-back pass when you come off

264
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:48,140
the dribble boom and throw them behind

265
00:09:48,140 --> 00:09:51,290
the back pass to a teammate all right so

266
00:09:51,290 --> 00:09:52,880
this is the fifth pass that we've worked

267
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,100
on we've had chest pass bounce pass

268
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,920
overhead behind the back bounce pass now

269
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,180
we're working on them behind the back

270
00:09:59,180 --> 00:10:01,670
pass with to the chest right we're

271
00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:03,500
focused on that here it is check it out

272
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,360
in full speed hopefully buddy will catch

273
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,990
another bags

274
00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:13,979
