This document provides a training plan for a basketball session that focuses on passing and moving the ball down the court. The session includes a warm up, skill development drills, and ends with a full sided match. The skill development portion involves several drills that progress from individual ball handling to passing against defenders while moving down the court. Defenders are added throughout to increase difficulty. The session aims to improve players' ability to change direction, pass under pressure, and work as a team to advance the ball down the court.

change in pace between ‘Jog’ and ‘Drive’
Change Feeders regularly

Same as before but now the Worker starts
with a ball and has (on first run through) a
semi-passive defender.
Ball must go to and from each Feeder but
can go in any order
B3. Working the Ball Down the Court
8 Workers (6 will do) and two pairs of Feeders
Ball starts in the Circle with a Feeder. The Worker
drives down court to stop on the circle edge and
receive a ball which is returned directly. W then
sprints round the edge of the circle to receive the ball
and pass it out to the second F who passes back to
the 1st F who attempts a shot at goal.
Players Line Up along the side of the Court

court. PROGRESSION
