Passing and footwork go hand in hand. Direction and power come from a strong base. One should step into a pass. When receiving a pass one must be in a position to make a move. Whether it is taking a shot, dribbling the ball or making another pass footwork is very important.
Getting to a proper space to receive a pass and being able to make a move is very important. Core strength and proper balance are essential to making a good pass. While practicing move at a quick yet controlled pace to improve these skills.
Passing is important. Making good passes sets pace and allows you to set the tone on the offensive side of the ball. Inadequate passes lead to turnovers, fast breaks and more opportunities for your opponent. You CANNOT score without the ball!!!
Control the ball and you will control the game. Pass the ball and move. A simple strategy when properly executed exponentially improves team efficiency.
Being in the proper place, ready to make a controlled move and repeating this process is what a proper offense is about. Make the defense react to you. Footwork together with passing will allow the offense to create and take advantage of opportunities. Work with your environment. Set your own pace, get into a space to make a move and keep your options open.
Space and pace leads to goals on and off the court.
