Designed for two players sharing a small space, this 20-minute drill package hones reactive hand-eye coordination and passing precision. Players sharpen their ability to deliver accurate passes under split-second cognitive demands.

The Routine

1. Partner Hand-Eye Warmup (5 mins): tennis-ball-toss - Dribbling a basketball with one hand while tossing and catching a tennis ball with a partner 2 metres away.
2. Crisp Two-Hand Chest Passes (5 mins): partner-chest-passes - Stepping toward the receiver, snapping thumbs downward, and communicating calls on every delivery.
3. Bounce Pass Target Delivery (5 mins): partner-bounce-passes - Delivering two-hand bounce passes contacting the floor two-thirds of the distance to the receiver’s waist.
4. Live-Ball Push Pass Finisher (5 mins): one-hand-push-pass-off-dribble - Pounding on the move and immediately releasing a one-hand push pass directly off the bounce without picking up the dribble.
