level one & two
Purpose
• To transfer the ball over longer distances with accuracy
and speed.
• Makes defenders cover more territory as it allows attacking
team to play with more width.
1 Ball is held in the “V” grip by the driving hand. (The Driving
Hand is the hand which propels the ball. When passing
Right to Left it is the Right hand. When passing Left to Right
it is the Left hand.) Ideally with fingers and thumb pressed
against the surface but the palm not in contact.
2 The other hand is used to steady and direct the ball towards
the target. During the passing action, make sure the end
of the ball is pointing towards the target.
3 In one motion, draw the ball to the side opposite the
target by raising the elbow and roll the wrist downwards
to create tension.
4 Transfer the ball across the body, straightening the
wrist and using fingers to exert spin on the ball.
5 Follow through with passing motion and finish with
fingers pointing towards target.
Important points:
• To begin with, may be best to practice the action of the
driving hand only.
• Players should practice with either hand to ensure they are
proficient when passing to either side.
• Accuracy and low trajectory are paramount.
