Chestpass

There are multiple ways of performing a chestpass:

• With one or both hands
• From stance.
• Whilst moving.
• Whilst jumping.
• Via the ground.
• From the chest.
• Over the head
• To a moving or non-moving player

When you pass to a moving player, pass the ball a little ahead of your teammate.

A chestpass  is a pass given on roughly the height of the chest of the player who will receive the ball. If the strength of a player isn’t developed enough to give a pass from a long distance, try passing from shorter distances. It’s important to master the technique for this pass.

Performing a chest pass whilst standing still

• Thumbs behind the ball
• knees slightly bend
• elbows facing back
• The ball is thrown to a teammate with two hands.
• When the pass is given your hand palms will face out and thumbs will face down

Performing a chest pass whilst moving

• The player giving the pass will receive whilst both feet are of the ground.
• The ball can be passed after the player’s foot has touched the ground.

Teaching a chest pass

• Pass towards a wall
• Every three to four get a ball. Picking up the ball from the ground and chest pass it to another player in one motion
• Every two players get a ball, passing while walking.
