The Quick Passing Drill focuses on developing fast, accurate passes in continuous motion. This drill sharpens reaction time, hand-eye coordination, and communication, helping players build rhythm and timing in both static and dynamic situations. Ideal for warm-ups or technical blocks, it reinforces the core value of ball movement in team offense.

Initial layout and description
The Quick Passing Drill focuses on developing fast, accurate passes in continuous motion. This drill sharpens reaction time, hand-eye coordination, and communication, helping players build rhythm and timing in both static and dynamic situations. Ideal for warm-ups or technical blocks, it reinforces the core value of ball movement in team offense.
Application field: in case you have mid-court or field as a whole, would be able to advertise that after a certain number of passes made by the pin play a situation of a reduced game in which the player without the ball will have to retrieve at least one of the balls in the game.
Variants
- Vary the distance between the players.
- Give the passes in a certain way.
- Change the basketballs for medicine balls.
- Each time the pin makes a pass, the player with the ball that has not received the pass has to make a change of hand.
- Perform the passes on pot.
- To make passes with a single hand.
- To receive the pass with one hand.
- Mode-preliminary: the player that loses control of the ball or a bad pass is out performing any physical load (only for large basket).
Note: all variants are combinable.
