10-Minute Passing (Bumping) Drill

Goal: consistent, controlled passes using a clean platform.

1) Platform check (1 min)

• Arms extended, hands together (clasped or one fist wrapped by the other)
• Flat surface from wrists to elbows — this is the “platform”
• Bend the knees, not the arms

2) Wall passing (4 min)

• Stand 5 feet from a wall. Pass the ball against the wall and receive it back.
• Focus: angle the platform to control direction. Don’t swing the arms — use your legs.
• 20 consecutive passes is a good target.

3) Shuffle and pass (3 min)

• Start in the middle of a 10-foot space. Toss the ball left, shuffle, pass it back to center. Then right.
• 10 reps each direction.

4) Low balls (2 min)

• Toss the ball low (knee height). Get under it, platform up. 10 reps.
