A. overhead pass

  • Description Left-handers should shoot with their right foot in front, right-handers shoot with their left foot in front
  • As you wind up to shoot get your hand at the same height as your shoulder and then pull the ball backwards.
  • Your forearm should form a 90 degree angle with upper-arm
  • Hip turns backwards together with the hand behind the ball with your fingers slightly spread.
  • The third and final step involves moving forwards with a large and explosive drive - planting the `weak` foot in the direction of the goal as the hand, arm and hips move forwards in the final movement.


Coaching Points

  • When the back foot comes off the floor as you shoot the throwing arm should pass the head at ear height.
  • Stretch out the throwing arm after the shot as you follow through - pointing towards where your want your shot to go.
  • Player`s upper body should lightly follow the throwing arm in a downward motion.


B. chest pass.

  • Which feet in front does’t matter.
