How can I teach 8 year old boys to spin pass
get them throwing a ball to each other one handed - works a treat
Mark
I agree with Richard that starting with one handed passing gets the children to learn quickly what is behind the secret of spin passing. Do remember that we don't want spin passes all the time - only when we are trying to pass over a longer distance. It is actually quite hard to catch a spin pass!
Here are some further thoughts:
To start with:
Now with a partner stand facing each other and pass to each other so the ball spins like it did when you were throwing to yourself.
Key points:
Make it harder:
I hope this helps you,

I would say teach/coach a quality 'push pass' first, then allow the 'spin pass' to develop later on.
KLPS: high elbow (digging action) with ball pointing down at ground - following through with point at target.
You will achieve a quality pass much quicker and can then allow the spin pass to develop with those who can later down the line when needed. 8 year olds don't need to spin pass as the distance is very short.
I totally agree with Mel. 8 yr olds don't need to spin pass, and anyway, in my experience, most kids learn to spin pass by copying an adept scrum half at the club rather than by coaching points.
Create a resolution to develop your coaching confidence by seizing the opportunity to discover new drills, turn ideas into action and seek advice from the coaching community.
