Basketball Passing Skills
Help your team move the ball safely and accurately. Read the court situations, choose useful passing skills, and plan how to communicate. If practising, use a soft ball, keep space between players, and follow your teacher’s safety instructions.
Pass with purpose
Think about the best pass for each situation.
1.Isla is facing a teammate who is close by and has a clear path between them. Which pass is usually a good choice for a quick, direct pass through the air?
- Chest pass
- Bounce pass
- Overhead pass
2.Wiremu wants the ball to travel under a defender’s outstretched arms. Which pass could help?
- Bounce pass
- Chest pass thrown high
- Overhead pass
3.Ruben has a teammate farther away, and a defender is standing between them. Name one pass that may be useful and explain why it could work.
4.A bounce pass is often aimed so it hits the floor about two-thirds of the way to the receiver. True or false?
Build a reliable pass
Match each passing action to its purpose.
5.Match each action with what it helps you do.
- Step towards your target
- Use both hands to control the ball
- Follow through with thumbs pointing down on a chest pass
- Look at the court before passing
- Hold and release the ball with control
- Notice teammates, defenders, and open space
- Help direct the ball towards the receiver
- Guide the ball accurately after release
6.Complete the coaching cue: For a chest pass, start with the ball near your , step towards your target, and push with hands.
7.A player shuts their eyes just before passing because they already know where their teammate is. Explain why this is not a safe or effective choice.
Team communication challenge
A clear call and ready hands can help a pass reach the right person.
8.You are passing to Wiremu during a game. Give one short call you could use before sending the ball, and say one thing Wiremu could do to show he is ready.
9.Your team is practising a passing sequence. Isla passes, then moves to an open space instead of standing still. How can this help the team?
10.Choose two actions that can help a teammate receive a pass safely.
- Call clearly and pass towards their hands
- Pass as hard as possible without looking
- Check they are ready and give them room to catch
- Turn away while releasing the ball
11.Plan a three-step practice for a pair to improve accurate passing. Include one passing technique and one communication or safety habit.
