There are many coaching points for the push pass, and the ones you focus on is dependent on the level of your players. The best way I found to teach the younger players is to break it down into few and simple stages (such as knees bent, angle of the stick and width of feet), whereas skill refinement for older and more skilled players should be focused on game scenarios and timing. I suggest you look at these resources, they provide a comprehensive overlook at the push pass and if you are in search of more just type it into Google or YouTube and you will find a plethora of examples.
