Wall Snap Pass Challenge

A competitive passing drill that builds snap-pass technique, speed, and accuracy—great for warmups, stations, or at-home skill development.

How it Works

Give each player a ball and a spot on the wall with enough space between players. On your signal, players fire rapid snap passes against the wall—stepping into each pass, snapping their wrists, and catching the rebound cleanly. Each round lasts 10–20 seconds, focusing on quick hands and consistent accuracy.

Keep the tempo high. Players should stay balanced, use their legs for power, and absorb each catch softly. This quick-hands focus mirrors the partner pressure found inĀ Partner Snap Pass Battle. You can also build competition by tracking reps, similar to the energetic scoring used inĀ Wreck It Ralph. For shooting groups, this drill pairs well as a warm-up before rhythm games likeĀ 5-3-1 Shooting Relay.

Reset quickly between rounds and progressively increase difficulty by adding movement or weak-hand work.
