Outlet Passing: advance pass to catch-and-shoot race

Split the team into two equal groups. Each team forms a line underneath the basket along the baseline. One player from each team starts at the free-throw line, and another starts at half court. Each team has one basketball. How It Works: The drill begins as a race. The first player in line steps out of bounds on the baseline and inbounds the ball to the teammate at the free-throw line. The free-throw line player must catch with their back (butt) to the sideline, pivot, and quickly advance the ball up the floor. They pass ahead to the half-court player, who is sprinting toward the opposite three-point line for a catch-and-shoot three. After the shot, players rotate: The free-throw line player moves to half court. The half-court player goes to the end of the baseline line. The inbounder moves to the free-throw line. Count made threes and play to a target score. The first team to reach the target wins. Then flip sides. Focus Points: Proper outlet positioning and pivot footwork. Advancing the ball quickly and accurately. Sprint lanes and timing in transition. Shooting in rhythm at game speed. Competing with pace and urgency.
