Passing: 2v1 chair grabs shooting game

This drill combines drive-and-kick passing, quick decision making, and high-speed catch-and-shoot three-point shooting. The offensive player drives, makes a first read, then immediately finds a second option, creating rapid ball movement and multiple shots. Setup 3–4 players per group (3 active, 1 waiting/rotating). One chair, cone, or object placed under the basket with a basketball on top. Player positions: Left corner (starts with ball) Right wing (no ball) Right corner (no ball) Additional players line up to rotate in. Multiple groups can compete on separate baskets. How the Drill Works The player in the left corner starts with the ball. They drive toward the basket, attacking the chair under the rim. As they reach the chair, they: pass their original ball to either: the right wing, or the right corner. Immediately after passing, the driver: picks up the ball from the chair, and delivers a second pass to the other perimeter player (the one who didn’t receive the first pass). Both perimeter players: catch and shoot a three-pointer as soon as they receive the ball. After the shots: players rebound, one ball is placed back on the chair, the other ball is returned to the starting position, all players rotate spots. Rotation Driver → moves to a perimeter spot Shooters → rotate through positions Next player enters from the line Key Training Focus Drive-and-kick passing One-more passing reads Catch-and-shoot three-point shooting Playing with pace and urgency Transitioning from drive to pass quickly Shooting under time pressure Game Translation This drill simulates situations where a player drives into the paint, draws help defense, and must make quick decisions to find open shooters. The second pass represents the “one-more” pass often needed to create a wide-open shot. Coaching Emphasis Drivers should attack under control and stop on balance. Emphasize quick, accurate passes to both shooters. Shooters must be ready to catch and shoot immediately. Encourage game-speed movement and urgency. Players should communicate and move efficiently during rotations.
