*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.
