Basketball Passing Skills Reflection

Use the game situation and passing tips below to review your choices, teamwork and next steps. For reflection questions, there is no single personal answer; example answers are provided as a guide.

Read the game situation

In a small-sided game, Maia has the ball near the sideline. A defender is close, and her teammate Hana is moving into open space. Maia can use a chest pass, bounce pass or overhead pass. The team has practised looking up, stepping towards a target, using two hands and communicating clearly. After passing, a player should move to a new space to offer another option.

Choose and explain

1.Maia sees Hana moving into open space at chest height. Which pass is usually the best first choice, if the passing lane is clear?

Chest pass
Bounce pass
Overhead pass

2.The defender blocks the direct route to Hana. What could Maia change about the pass to send the ball around the defender? Explain briefly.

3.Describe one effective sequence for making a controlled pass. Include these actions: follow through towards the target; look at the target; step towards the target; hold the ball securely with fingers spread.

4.Match each situation to the pass that could suit it best. Use each pass once.

A teammate is close by and the lane is clear at chest height.
A defender is standing between you and your teammate.
A teammate is farther away and a defender is reaching across the direct lane.

Overhead pass
Chest pass
Bounce pass

Review your teamwork

Think about your own practice or use the game situation to consider what effective passing looks and sounds like.

5.True or false: After passing, Maia should stay still and watch Hana so she does not get in the way.

TrueFalse

6.Write one clear, respectful call Maia could use to let Hana know she is ready to receive the ball.

7.Reflect on your passing practice: name one part of your technique that is going well and one part you want to improve. Give a specific example of what you noticed.

8.A partner says, “Try stepping towards your target so the pass has more direction.” What is a useful response to feedback?
