Why Basketball Passing Drills Are So Important

By Dirk Wade


Playing basketball is very exciting, but when people are able to play basketball they are going to be able to get the enjoyment of winning. The problem for a lot of people is they have never underwent any training for basketball and this is what leads to them having problems while playing the game. This is when people should know about how the footwork drills are going to help them in getting to improve their game play.

The most basic of full court drills are the weaves that take you up and down the whole court. Utilizing the whole court in a weave lets you know your bounds when transitioning from quadrant to quadrant. Keeping with this theme it also keeps your stamina up for quick movement during ball directional changes.

Passing from player to player across the court until the last person makes a layup is a good drill as well. This shows you how to cover the entire court for efficient scoring. When the person has completed their layup they should run to the back and the whole team should move forward one spot. This prevents everyone from getting too comfortable in one position ensuring greater teamwork.

If a player never runs drills, they may be able to pull off a few nice shots while playing in someone's front yard. However, if a player practices and develops their skills, they'll be able to pull off great shots and win while they're on the court in an actual game.

Finally drills that make you defend on your weakest side and recover from a quick pass can be equally helpful. Try and do these drills on the move without stopping to ensure full court coverage. Have a few members running the best interference they can. This will aid with truly being able to defend the ball and keep your focus in a real game.

When you do these drills, you need to move without stopping, ensuring that you're able to go across the full court. There are many numbers running on the team, some of which can provide interference. This will aid everyone in becoming better at defending the ball, and keeping your focus, when it comes time to play the game. These drills help you work the entire court. You can get yourself, as well as a whole team comfortable with the full-court, allowing people to play their game much better addressing all of their weaknesses, improving their overall game.
