This exercise is a stick work drill called "Figure Eight". Its main goal is to improve passing accuracy, mobility, and communication between players. It also allows players to work on the technique of cutting and moving around a pick (screen) in a tight space. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how it’s done:
Initial Setup: You need three players: two on the outside (outside players) and one in the middle (inside player). The middle player starts with the ball.
The Middle Player:
The player in the middle (with the ball) passes the ball to the player in front of them on the outside.
