Rapid-Fire Passing Drill Level – Beginner and up. Instructions – The players will stand about three feet from a wall. They will throw hard chest passes against the wall in a rapid-fire pattern. As the players are passing the ball, they should back up gradually until they are about 10 – 15 feet away from the wall. The players will continue passing the ball and gradually move forward until they are about three feet from the wall.
