The Pass Then Collapse Drill

Pass Then Collapse Drill

The next drill that we are going to be go over is called Pass then Collapse. A lot of times with younger kids, high schooled aged kids, they exert all of this energy to get to a ball, a hustle play and then they don't finish their pass to make it playable or settable. This drill reinforces the fact that they are going to play the ball first to make it playable and then collapse their body and worry about falling and making the play worse. The tosser is going to start at the 10 feet line on her knee; this is going to stimulate a very low toss to the floor. Chelsie is going to start back, when Mitchell tosses this ball, Chelsie is going to be lunging out, lunge out to your right, to make the pass.

Even this ball might be even an inch of the floor, but she is going to make her pass first, make it nice and high back to the target and then collapse and she is going to do it very well. When I am passing outside of her, she is going to make the pass first and then fall higher. Make the pass first and then roll all the way through it like you need to roll. Here we go, pass up higher, good, that was a good one. But, she is making her pass first and then she is worrying about her body. So, a lot of kids at the younger age and at the high school age will make that pass and it might be only a foot off the ground or they might grab it with one arm. We are forcing our kids to get two hands on the ball to make it playable so that they are not exerting all of that energy for nothing, okay.
