Basketball: Bounce Pass
Bounce Pass
The bounce pass is a fundamental and very effective passing technique. This pass consists of one player passing the ball to a teammate by bouncing the ball off the floor with great energy. Because the ball will be at ground level as it passes a defender, a successful bounce pass can easily result in a scoring assist because a bounce pass is harder for defenders to intercept. Still, a bounce pass may be intercepted due to its slower speed. There are certain steps you have to follow to throw a correct bounce pass they are as follows Receive the ball in the triple-threat position (feet shoulder-width apart and slightly staggered, knees bent, shooting hand on top of the ball and your other hand to the side, and elbows bent to 90-degree angles). The next step is Hold the ball at waist level. You may need to alter the position of the ball from hip to hip depending on your defender's location so that you will not turn the ball over. The next step is one of the most important of the steps. Aim for a spot three-quarters of the way between you and your teammate. Next you Push off your back foot. Then Take a step with your front foot. Extend your arms in a quick, downward motion to pass the ball. Extend your arms in a quick, downward motion to pass the ball. When your teammate is moving, lead the ball far enough in front so your teammate can catch the ball in stride. Pass the ball so your teammate is not forced to move. Attempt to get your teammate the ball so that he or she is in the triple-threat position upon receiving the ball. The bounce pass is difficult for a defender to steal. The change of direction is hard for the defender to judge. When your teammate is on the move, a bounce pass is easier to handle than a chest or overhead pass. Practice the trajectory and speed of your bounce pass to increase your accuracy. Try not to telegraph your pass to your defender. Learn to feint a move in a different direction first, or develop your "no look"
