Wheelchair Basketball Passing Skills
NARRATOR: Let's start off the passing skills with the push stop pass drill. Have players start on the baseline facing down the court with a different player or coach a few feet in front of them. Players push their chair forward about three feet and then come to a complete stop. At this point they should receive a chest pass. Players need to catch the ball, pass it back, and push their chair backwards to the starting point on the baseline. 
As you can see in this demonstration by coach Doug Garner the drill can be modified with spins and turns on the baseline and also with bounce passes or one-handed passes. Here you see coach Garner mishandle one of the one-handed passes. This will be common for new players so don't let your players get discouraged.
Now let's go to the touch and turn. Have players start on the baseline with two cones up set up about five feet apart. Players push along the baseline to the outside of each cone. When they reach the cone, give them the pass to their outside hand, the player should tap the ball back in a controlled manner. Then players spin to the outside and push towards the other cone. You can modify this drill with bounce passes or by having the players fully catch the ball and hold it above their head for a few seconds. 
Next is the triangle pass. To start this drill, set up three cones in a triangle approximately three feet apart. Players start at the top cone in the Triangle and push towards one of the bottom cones. When the player reaches the cone they need to come to a complete stop and then receive a chest pass. After returning the chest passed, players push backwards to the top cone until they can push forwards to the next cone. 
Similar to the triangle pass is the triangle weave. Set up three cones and a large triangle about five feet apart. Players need to follow the path and figure one in the passing lesson plan. When the player reaches the middle of the triangle they must catch and return a chest pass without stopping their chair. This drill is good to help players learn to maneuver their chair with just their hips. You can modify this drill with bounce passes or one-handed passes. Remember to encourage your players to keep their heads up.
Finally, we come to partner passing. This drill requires two players or a player and a coach to work together. Here we see coach Garner working with Max. Stand several feet apart from each other and use two basketballs. Designate one player to always give bounce passes and the other to give chest passes. Players begin passing at the same time to create a cycle of passes. You can modify this drill with one-handed passes. This drill is great for improving concentration and ball handling skills.
