The through pass with finish drill is the top through ball drill to work with a friend or one teammate. The drill focuses on stamina, communication, passing, and shooting. When practicing the drill, it’s important to have full awareness, as the player moving will be calling out commands to the other player. Be detailed, and remember, practice makes perfect.
Supplies:
- 4 cones
- 1 ball
- 2 players
Set up:
- Set up the four cones about 5 feet away from each other in a straight line.
- Each player will start about 6 feet away from the cones. This will make a plus sign shape.
- The player facing the goal will start with the ball.
Instructions:
- The player runs through the center on the cones.
- The player on the outside will call out a color and the player will shuffle to that cone.
- Then, when the player arrives at the cone they will point either straight or pointed down.
- If the player points straight, then the player on the outside will pass the ball through the two cones opposite of the player.
- The player will run onto the ball and will take one touch and shoot.
- If the player who just shuffled to the cone points down, then the player on the outside of the drill will pass the ball through the two cones closest to the player.
- The player who received the ball will take a touch and shoot the ball.
Tips:
- Think quickly and challenge yourself to make decisions faster
