Kansas City Passing

There are two variations of this drills.  The first starts with two lines and one defender in the middle.  The defensive player sprints to the side the ball is on and applies ball pressure, trying to force a bad pass and tip/deflect the ball.  The offensive player must make at least three good jabs and/or pass fakes before passing the ball to the opposite line.  Once passing the ball, the passer then becomes the defender and sprints to the ball and closeouts out, applying pressure to the new offensive player.  The original defender goes to the back of the line he closed out to.  Offensive players are not allowed to use a dribble when it is one on one.

After everyone has had a chance to go through this a couple of times, a second defender is added.  Every defensive player stays on for two cycles of defense and closing out and then is off.  The offensive player continues to follow their pass, filling in for the defender who is cycled off.  The goal of the defense is to not get split, take away direct line passes, and create tips/deflections.  The offensive player must be ball tough, using their pivots and jabs to create space.  They are allowed to take one dribble on the one on two to create space for a good, crisp pass to the opposite line.
