CHEST PASS

It is thrown by gripping the ball on the sides with the thumbs directly behind the ball.
When the pass is thrown, the fingers are rotated behind the ball and the thumbs are
turned down. The resulting follow through has the back of the hands facing one another
with the thumbs straight down.

 Start with the ball close to your chest.


 Take a step forward in the direction of your teammate while quickly snapping your
arms forward.
 To create the proper backspin with your pass, place your hands on the sides of the
basketball with your thumbs on the back side facing your body.
 When releasing the ball, your fingers should move forward and finish pointing toward
your teammate.
 Your thumbs should also snap forward pointing in the same direction but finishing
below your fingers.
 Follow through by extending your arms fully in front of your body to help create more
speed.

BOUNCE PASS

The bounce pass is frequently used when your on-ball defender has their hands high and
you still need to make a pass. The bounce pass to a teammate regularly occurs when
making a post-entry pass or a pass from the post back out to a teammate if the post player
is double teamed.

 Bounce the ball with strength, so that the ball bounces off the floor to the chest
height of your teammate.

OVERHEAD PASS

You can use the overhead pass (also known as a skip pass) to move the ball from one side
of the court to the other. This can be an effective way to reverse the ball to the opposite end
of the court when other passes aren’t open so a teammate can receive it with enough time
to take a quality shot.

 Raise the ball above your head.


 Use both hands to make a hard, accurate throw to a teammate across the court.
 Aim for your teammate’s chest, head or above their head, depending on how closely
they are guarded.

Baseball pass
 A “baseball” pass is a one handed pass that is used to throw the ball long
distances. ... The player steps toward their target and throws the pass across
their body, twisting their body so that their chest faces the target as the ball is
released.
