Drop Shoulder Passing Practice This drill you will use the basketball hoops. I have a player at the elbow of the free throw line. I have them face into the lane. Then I have another player on the opposite side of the lane on the block by the basket. This person tosses the ball to the inside of the player on the free throw line who then uses a drop shoulder pass to try to lift the ball up and into the basket.
I have the passer switch sides so they work on both directions. You could have them stay on the same side, but face away from the lane. Depending on the size of your team, you can put 4 or more players per basket. The athletes have fun trying to make a basket while working on a drop shoulder pass.
