Build the pass-cut-fill habits of a Read and React offense with this continuous passing drill.
Start with one player at the top and lines on both wings. The top player passes to a wing, cuts hard to the basket, and clears to the opposite wing’s line. The first player from the opposite wing fills the open spot at the top and receives the next pass. Repeat toward the other side to keep the ball and players moving.
Emphasize:
Pass, then cut: Move immediately after releasing the ball.Show a target: Look for a return pass throughout the basket cut.Fill with timing: Let the cutter clear before filling the open spot.Catch ready: Meet the pass, face the basket, and deliver an accurate pass to the next player.
