This exercise is a stick work drill called "Figure Eight". Its primary goal is to enhance passing accuracy, mobility, and communication between players. It also allows players to work on their technique for cutting and moving around a pick (screen) in tight spaces. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:
Initial Setup: You’ll 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 it to the player in front of them on the outside.
