Type: Passing, Moving Without The Ball, Defense, Deny

Description:

Split group into two teams (of equal ability).

Players use half-court.

Players are not allowed to dribble the ball.

Each team must try to complete fifty passes to win the game. Each team counts out loud as they complete each pass.

Possession always changes to other team when a violation (or dribble) occurs, 

or the ball is held or the ball goes out of bounds (irrespective of who it 

came off when it went out).

When a team gets possession back they continue pass count from where 

they got to on last possession. First team to fifty wins the game.

Variations:  None.

Points of Emphasis:

1. Fake a pass to make a pass.

2. Move to space - create a passing lane.

3. Move to the ball - don't wait for it.

4. Pivot and move ball aggressively when confronted by defender(s).

5. Step into defender to make a pass.

6. Vary the type of passes you make - don't be predictable.

7. Talk - communicate. Call “Ball”.

8. Use hands to point where going or want the ball.

9. On defense - man up!
