Passing the ball
The ball carrier should:
- hold the ball in two hands
- commit a defender
- prop on their inside leg
- turn side on to the defence to face the supporting receiver
- identify the ‘target’ area - chest height in front of the receiver
- keeping the ball up between waist and chest area move the ball quickly across their body by swinging their arms
- use their chest, shoulders, elbows and wrists to control the speed and flight of the ball as it is released
- follow through with their hands in the direction of the pass with fingers pointing to the target after release
- support the receiver once the pass has been completed
