*Pass the ball 5X to the right-then to the left.

(head-waist-knees-ankles-figure 8s-front to back)

*Repeat drill with the eyes closed.

STEP 1: FINGER PLACEMENT

*Keep your fingers spread when holding the ball.

*This gives you maximum control of the ball and it's direction.

STEP 2: CONTROL OF THE BALL

*Push through the ball towards the target, not across.

*This will help to maintain precision and accuracy, especially when under pressure.

STEP 3. SPIN PASSING

*Keep the ball upright, use your opposite hand to push against the ball.

*This creates resistance so you can pass the ball hard to the target.
