OFTEN USED WITH...

Flick Pass:

This pass is used when you are being closely guarded. The passer will step to the side of the defender, keeping the ball on their hip away from the defense.

The passer will then push the ball and flick their wrist to the target.

Passing Technique

Hook Pass:

Start with the ball by your him. Arc your arm up and over your shoulder. You should release the ball in front of your face for a flat pass, or further towards your shoulder for a more elevated pass.

Passing Technique

One Bounce and One Arm Wall Pass:

Simply set up facing a wall with one ball. The player will bounce the ball before passing it towards the wall.

On return of the ball, the player will bounce it with the other hand before passing with that hand, with the ball returning back to the previous hand, and this is repeated.
