Warriors Passing Drill
This drill combines outlet passing, passing from the outlet position back to the middle of the floor, long passes on the run to a player up the floor and passing from the wing to the cutter / trailer / low-post.
Start with 6 players on the court as shown, the rest out of bounds under the basket (the triangles).
O1 and O4 start by throwing the ball off the backboard to simulate a rebound and then throwing an OVERHEAD pass to their respective outlet, O2 and O5.
O1 and O4 run down the inside fast-beak lanes (~ elbow-of-the-key to elbow-of-the-key).
O2 and O5 TWO-HAND CHEST pass back to O1 and O4 then run down the sideline to replace O3 and O6.
O1 and O4 make a long TWO-HAND CHEST pass on the run to O3 and O6, younger players may have to take a dribble or two before passing.
O3 and O6 PUSH pass back to O1and O4 cutting down the lane for the lay-up or low-post move.
O3 and O6 follow their pass, rebound the shot and go to the end of the line.
O1 and O4 run through the lay-up and go to the outlet positions just vacated by O2 and O5.

================
The next player in line (the triangles) steps on from under the basket and throws the ball off the backboard to simulate a rebound. The play continues as in the previous sequence.
The coach can vary the type of finishing play... either a lay-up, jump shot or low-post move.
Player should call all positions. eg... OUTLET! ... MIDDLE! ...HAMMER! (wing) ... NAIL! (trailer/cutter)
