Initial setup. 1 has the ball at the top, 5 on the left wing.
DESCRIPTION
Three players pass and follow up the floor in a weaving pattern. Pass, then run behind the receiver, ending with a layup at the far basket.
A classic warmup that combines passing in motion, communication, and conditioning.
COACHING POINTS
• Pass and follow your pass — run behind the receiver
• Keep the spacing wide; weave should be the full lane width
• Catch on the move, no stopping
• Lead passes — pass to where the player is going
• Layup off the correct foot at the rim
Progressions: full-court return weave (3-up, 3-back), add a defender for the layup, no-dribble version (pure passing), reverse weave coming back. For older players: 3-on-2 advantage at the end.
