About This Play/Drill

X Passing is a drill we run to simulate several key components of our 4-Out 1 in man-to-man offense. In this drill we are working on the following key concepts:

 

1. Creating a lead on the wing.

2. Passing with the correct hand and communicating with our hands (break open to wing and show outside hand).

3. Establishing triple threat on a catch (rips and sweeps).

4. Post players posting above the block on the 1st hash.

5. Feeding the post with a bounce pass or overhead pass to their numbers.

6. Post players catching with 2 hands and 2 feet, then "chin and check middle.'

7. Last but definitely not least: communication. We call names on every pass, every time.

  • Drill starts with a pass from the slot area to the wing player creating a lead using a v-cut and showing outside hand to the passer.

  • On a catch, the wing player establishes a triple threat position using either a low sweep or a vicious pivot. The wing player must fake a pass to make a pass before throwing ball into the post. Post player should call out the players name. Easy rotation rule--follow your pass!

  • On a low post catch, we teach chin and check middle in case of double team. Then post player fans the ball out to the opposite slot area.

  • While the ball is in the air from the post to the slot, the wing creates a lead and uses v-cut to get open showing outside hand.

  • Again wing player uses a ear to ear vicious pivot or a low sweep to establish triple threat.

  • Wing player fakes a pass to make a pass and then passes into post and drill continues in same manner.
