Players flick the ball against the wall using the finger tips of both their hands.
Keep your eye on the ball with light fingers and follow through towards the wall with hand. Bend knees to increase elevation.
When passing over a greater distance ensure player starts with the ball above their head, both hands behind the ball (fingers and thumbs pointing up).
As you throw the ball step forward and push through, ensuring your hands follow-through (hands finish by pointing at the target).
Progression:
After 10 successful passes players should take a step back and continue to pass against the wall using the overhead pass technique.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
