Steve Nash Off of the Dribble Partner Passing Basketball Drill

 

This is a beginner basketball passing drill to help younger players learn how to make a pass off of the dribble. The basketball drill will allow for a lot of repetitions in a short period of time, which will, hopefully, help the player develop good passing habits. Passing off of the dribble with only one hand can be a risky pass if not mastered. It is because it tends to be floated or off target, so it is crucial that the player masters this type of pass before attempting it in a game.

Passing off of the dribble is really important for point guards and players that handle the basketball a lot. You will not always have the time to pick the basketball up with both hands before making a pass. There may only be a small window to get the basketball into, and if you pick the ball up with both hands to make a pass, it may close. This is also a great drill to use when you have a large group for basketball training or in a basketball camp situation because it gets a lot of players involved at the same time and doesn’t take up very much space.
