Netball: One Handed Bounce Pass

This session looks at developing your players attacking principles focusing on short, sharp direct passing to maintain possession.

*** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON ***

• Spread your hands around the ball in a 'W' shaped position 
• Bring the ball to your chest with your arms close to your body
• Step forward with either leg, usually your most dominant, and push through with the ball transferring your body weight forward
• Aim for your partners chest 

*** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON ***

• Spread your hands around the ball in a 'W' shaped position
• Place the ball above your head and slightly bend your elbows but keep them close to your body
• The ball should be in line with the centre of your body
• Step forward with either leg, usually your most dominant, and push through with the ball transferring your body weight forward as you push through
• Your hands and fingers should be pointing towards the direction you want the ball to go
• You don't want the ball to be loopy as it is easier to intercept - instead you want it hard and fast so aim just above your teammates chest 
• Ensure your arms are fully outstretched upon release

*** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON ***

• Place your throwing hand behind the ball with your fingers spread
• Ensure your arm is creating a right angle 
• Step forward with the opposite leg to your throwing arm and transfer your body weight forward 
• Ensure your pass is flat and direct to your partner - you will accomplish this by fully extending your arm and fingers where you want the ball 

*** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON ***

• When moving to the legal distance defenders use a strong stride to jump back or a few quick steps to get 3ft away from the ball carrier
• Ensure you get your distance before putting your arms over the ball - if you do not you will get called for obstruction, arms before distance
• Keep your weight balanced over your legs, with your hips, knees and ankles bent
• You can follow the ball with your arms to put pressure on the pass
