Purpose

Players learn to pass the ball through their legs while moving on the court.

How it Works

  1. Start at the baseline with the ball in your right hand.
  2. Step forward with your left leg and pass the ball through your legs to your right hand.
  3. Step forward with your right leg and pass the ball through your legs, from your left hand to your right hand.
  4. Repeat, passing the ball through your legs as you walk to half court.
  5. Next, complete the drill while jogging at half speed.
  6. Continue to increase your speed until you can complete the drill while running at full sprint.

Coaching Tips

  • Bend over and lean forward so that you are comfortably able to pass the ball between your legs.
  • Use your finger tips to control the ball, not your palm.
  • Make it easier: Once you have the move mastered work on moving your legs faster and taking longer strides.
  • Make it harder: Focus more on handling the ball properly rather than getting to halfcourt and back quickly.
