TOPICS: • Passing • Shooting • Workout drills DIFFERENT SKILLS USED IN BASKETBALL PASSING SKILLS • Passing is another skill that when mastered can help you become a complete basketball player. Basketball is a team sport that involves finding a teammate who is open for a shot. • Passing in basketball is the act of throwing the ball to a teammate. One player will try to pass the ball to their teammate while the other player tries to steal the ball and take it away. BASIC PASSING TECHNIQUES Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world. Though it has many variations, there are basic basketball passing techniques that even beginners can learn to improve their game. 1. CHEST PASS 2. BOUNCE PASS 3. OVERHEAD PASS 4. BASEBALL PASS CHEST PASS • The chest pass is thrown with the ball being placed above and between the two arms. It can be used from anywhere on the court and especially from close to the basket. • The motion of passing is similar to a layup; instead of raising the ball over the head, it is brought chest high by pulling it back with both hands. • The chest pass is often utilized in teams’ offensive game plans when a fast break opportunity has presented itself or in transition when no one has yet established an offensive set. CHEST PASS • The pass comes from chest to receiver’s chest • Step forward into pass • Hands end up with palms facing outwards and thumbs facing down BOUNCE PASS • The bounce pass is a basketball play in which the passer throws the ball to a teammate just above the floor. It can be used to pass around a defender who will be close to the receiver or to throw over an aggressive defender, though this is not advised. • When used properly, the bounce pass can help get past a defender that is in the way of an actual pass; other times it can save a team if their guard was pressured hard by an opponent and has no space in which to dribble or pass forward. BOUNCE PASS • The pass comes from the chest and bounces just over 1/2 to 2/3 way between you and the receiver • Step forward into pass • Hands end up with palms facing outwards and thumbs facing down OVERHEAD PASS • By far the most spectacular pass in basketball is the overhead pass . This pass starts off with the ball high above your head, and it ends wide open for a teammate to take it in for a layup. • Often viewed as the easiest way to score when you have no teammate on either side of you, mastering the overhead pass takes nearly as much practice time as the push shot. To learn how to do an overhead pass, there are only two things to remember: keep it high and keep your hands together. OVERHEAD PASS • The pass comes from the above head, not from behind • Step forward into pass • The pass should travel in a straight downwards slope to the receiver’s chest BASEBALL PASS • One of the types of passing in basketball is the baseball pass. A baseball pass is a method of passing in basketball that resembles the action of throwing a baseball. • The one-handed pass is used by a player throwing the ball with their dominant hand while simultaneously making an underhand throw with their other hand. • The move is used to send a long pass quickly downfield to a teammate, or drive past an opposing defender with fakes and dribbling moves. BASEBALL PASS • Nonthrowing hand pointing at the target • One foot forward (same as non-throwing hand) • Throw the ball as you would a baseball, step forward, and follow through with throwing hand ADVANCED PASSING TECHNIQUES Basketball passes are an extremely important part of the game. Knowing advanced passing techniques can give you a great advantage over your competition and help you enjoy more success in this sport. Here is a breakdown of some of the most effective basketball passing techniques out there. 1. BEHIND-THE-BACK PASS 2. PICK-AND-ROLL PASS BEHIND-THE-BACK PASS • A behind-the-back pass in basketball is a type of pass when a player makes a normal pass and throws the ball around his or her back to make that pass. • This type of passing in basketball is used by both professionals and amateurs to avoid the defender when making the front pass would be risky. It can also be used to throw the ball to a player trailing on the fast break. • This pass is usually performed with one hand, although it can also be performed with both hands. BEHIND- THE- BACK PASS PICK-AND-ROLL PASS • The play consists of a ball handler (who may or may not have an ally) approaching a free-throw line extended, and being approached by a teammate (called a screener) who will set a screen for the ball handler. • The screener can either roll to the basket while the ball handler goes behind him, or they can both curl towards each other and allow for a pick and pop. • The play ends when the offensive player who passed the screen returns to their point of origin or passes to another player, with some exceptions- sometimes this pass is made possible by the screener playing off and dragging his defender. PICK-AND- ROLL PASS SHOOTING SKILLS • This requires the ability to properly hold and throw the ball into the air toward the basket while avoiding defenders. A proper shot requires precise aiming, arm extension, and lift from the legs. There are different types of shots you need to learn, including jump shots, layups, and free throws. • To shoot accurately, square your shoulders to the basket and place your feet shoulder length apart. With your knees bent slightly and back leaning towards the basket, put the fingers of your shooting hand under the ball and tuck your elbows close to your body. Flick your wrist towards the hoop to release the shot. Your index finger should follow through facing the basket after releasing the ball. SHOOTING FUNDAMENTALS JUMP SHOT • A jump shot is most frequently used for a mid to long-range shots, including shooting beyond the arc. • To achieve balance when facing the basket for a jump shot, you have to take a wide stance, usually, shoulder width apart, bend your knees and square your shoulders. • Make a fluid, explosive upward leap and at the apex of the jump, follow through by shooting the ball. • When the ball is released at the apex of the jump shot, keep your elbows straight to ensure that it is pointed in the direction of the basket. Concentrate on the flicking of your wrist and holding it in position to provide the ball with momentum and spin. SHOOTING FUNDAMENTALS SET SHOT • The set shot in basketball is when a player is stationary, or set, holds the ball with two hands and shoots it towards the basket without jumping off the ground. • The set shot should only be attempted when there are no defenders within close distance so as to avoid being blocked. Otherwise, the player should attempt a regular jump shot when defenders are close. SHOOTING FUNDAMENTALS FREE THROW SHOT • A free throw, or foul shot, is an unguarded scoring attempt that a referee awards a basketball player after an opposing team member commits a foul against them, their team, or an official. • Free throws provide a basketball team with the opportunity to score points outside of the shot clock during a basketball game. SHOOTING FUNDAMENTALS LAYUP SHOT • A layup is a shot made from short range by a player moving towards the basket. Usually utilising the backboard if he approaches the hoop from an angle. This is also one of the most basic and common way of scoring a basket in the game. • To execute a layup, dribble the ball towards the basket. If you’re on the right flank, dribble the ball with your right hand. • At the three-point line, or within two metres from the basket, take two giant strides towards the hoop and attempt to score by throwing the ball at the top corner of the backboard or lay the ball gently into the basket. SHOOTING FUNDAMENTALS DUNK • The dunk is usually the most spectacular shot and is one of the toughest feats in basketball. • It usually requires more jumping ability than shooting skills. • To execute a slam dunk, dribble and charge towards the hoop when ready to execute the dunk. • Jump explosively to get as high as possible and leap towards the hoop. Lift the ball above the rim and push or slam it forcefully through the rim. • Most people jump off one foot, but you might find that you can jump higher off both feet. So there you have it, six ways of scoring in basketball. Start practicing and perhaps find out which way works for your best, depending on your role and position in the team. CUES: BEEF • This shooting drill concentrates on player balance and control of the basketball. This drill has been taught for years by Lenny Wilkens and is also promoted by Stanford and Ex-USA Olympic Coach Tara VanDerVeer. • The important thing to remember when doing this drill is what B.E.E.F actually means. B= Balance, E= eyes on your target, E= (shooting) elbow straight, F= follow through. To begin, the shooter should position him/herself about a foot away from the bottom of the rim. The object is to shoot the ball using the B.E.E.F routine. After the second basket made in that spot, without touching the rim, the player may take a step back. This is done until the player is at the foul line. Continue this drill until the shooter feels most comfortable. BALANCE • Feet are shoulder-width apart for good balance. • The feet should be in a slightly staggered stance that is consistent and comfortable for you. Your shooting foot is slightly ahead of the non-shooting foot in a comfortable position. • Point your feet in the general direction of the basket, but not necessarily directly at it. We prefer an open stance, but you can also use the closed (squared) stance if that's more comfortable for you. With an open stance, your feet point towards one side of the basket. For example, a right-handed shooter will point his or her feet just to the left of the rim for a more natural position and shooting motion. • Once you develop a comfortable stance, line up your feet the exact same way on every shot. Whatever stance you use, consistency is critical. • Flex/bend your knees on every shot EYES ON TARGET • To improve accuracy, locate the target (rim) as early as possible. • Keep your eyes on the target and do not follow the flight of the ball. • Keeping your target focus is very important ELBOW FORM • The ball should start motion directly upwards from the shot pocket. • Your elbow should be positioned comfortably under the ball. • The ball stays in front of you and should not go behind your head. • Your shooting hand should extend in a straight line to the rim. • Hand position on delivery is very important. The ball should come off the hand with perfect symmetrical backspin. • Your guide hand stays to the side and does not influence the flight of the ball FOLLOW THROUGH • Your wrists should be floppy (relaxed). • Fingers should be pointed at the target (rim). • Finish high. You should see your fingers at the top square of the backboard. • Hold your follow-through position until CORRECT SHOOTING STANCE EXERCISES TO EXTEND BASKETBALL SHOOTING RANGE • Basketball works most of the muscles in the body, but when it comes to taking a shot, the arm muscles are most heavily relied upon. To help improve your basketball shooting range, it's essential that you focus on strengthening all of the major muscle groups in your arms. DUMBBELL ARNOLD PRESS • Arnold press as part of your total arm routine. Start in a seated position on the end of a flat bench, your legs shoulder-width apart, feet flat on the floor. Grasp a dumbbell in each hand, your arms bent with your palms facing in so the dumbbells are against your chest. In a slow, controlled movement, bring your arms out to the sides and up over your head, until they are fully extended above you. Return to your starting position DUMBBELL/BARBELL CURL • The barbell curl is an effective exercise for targeting the biceps, which are essential for helping you extend your shooting range. Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms extended down at your sides. Hold a barbell with your hands in an underhanded grip, so the barbell rests against the front of your thighs. Keeping your arms close to your sides during the movement, flex your arms to bring the barbell up to your chest. Lower it back down to your starting position. DUMBBELL TRICEPS KICKBACK • Dumbbell triceps kickback exercise is an isolated exercise that targets the triceps muscles. Start in a standing position with one foot slightly farther than shoulder-width apart from the other. Lean over slightly while keeping your back straight, your right hand resting on your right thigh and your left arm flexed at your side. While grasping a dumbbell in your left hand, slowly extend your arm out until it is completely straight and then bring it back to its starting position. Repeat and then switch arms DUMBBELL/BARBELL REVERSE CURL • Build strength in your forearms with the barbell reverse curl. Stand straight up with your feet shoulder-width apart, your arms down at your sides and your hands grasped around a barbell in an overhanded grip. Keep your arms close to your sides and bring your arms up until the barbell is resting on top of your shoulders. Slowly lower the barbell back down to your original position.
