Guard passing focus plan

You are reacting to every guard shape instead of forcing one clear passing problem.

Why this focus

This result means your passing needs a smaller decision tree. Pick one family, enter it on purpose, and learn the two reactions you see most often.

Track this

Stable headquarters, knee line cleared, or chest-to-chest control

TapFlow timer

3 rounds: 2:00 passing work / 1:00 rest. Use the same pass family for the whole session.

Drills

  • Entry reps: reach your chosen passing position without finishing
  • Reaction reps: partner gives one common defense, you answer it
  • Finish reps: clear knee line, settle chest-to-chest, hold 3 seconds

Round rules

  • Passer can only use the chosen pass family.
  • Guard player gives realistic resistance but does not flee the drill.
  • A pass only counts after 3 seconds of stable control.

7-day rhythm

  1. Day 1-2: entry only.
  2. Day 4-5: entry plus one reaction.
  3. Day 6-7: live positional rounds from your entry.

Watch out

Do not confuse movement with progress. If you cannot name the entry, reaction, and finish, the round is too vague.
