Bounce pass

The bounce pass is frequently used when your on-ball defender has their hands high and you still
need to make a pass. The bounce pass to a teammate regularly occurs when making a post-entry
pass or a pass from the post back out to a teammate if the post player is double teamed.

When to use:

 At the end of a fast break, when passing to a player in the post, or to a player making a
backdoor cut. 
 Most effective when it begins with a shot fake or pass fake up high. 
 To pass under the hands of a defender whose hands are up.
 It's the slowest of all passes. Never throw a cross-court bounce pass because the pass is
easily intercepted.

How to execute:

 Passer should aim to bounce the ball about 2/3 the distance between himself and the
receiver. For a visual aid, place a piece of tape on the spot where the pass should bounce.
 Receiver should catch the ball at the waist.
 Pass should be pushed outward, not thrown down.
 Pass should start at the waist with arms extending out toward the spot where the ball
should bounce.
 Pass should never begin from the chest or overhead. This causes the ball to bounce too
high.
 Hands should follow through about waist high. 

Chest pass
The chest pass is the basic pass in basketball. It is accurate and can be thrown a long distance. To
throw a two-handed chest pass, start out by placing both hands on either side of the ball. Spread
your fingers out and form an oval between the thumbs and index fingers of each hand. Bring the
ball close to your chest. Push the ball out towards the target, stepping toward the target at the
same time.

When to use:

 Most efficient and effective pass for ball movement.

 To get the ball to a teammate when there's no defender in the passing lane.

How to execute:

 Pass should begin at the passer's chest and be caught at the receiver's chest area. 
 Ball's flight should not have much of an arc. It should be a pretty direct flight. 
 Hands should follow through chest high. 
 Pay careful attention to your players' elbows. Make sure they're tucked close to the body,
not flying out into "chicken wings." Elbows sticking out force the hands to rotate
incorrectly and ultimately reduce accuracy and strength of the pass.

Overhead pass
You can use the overhead pass (also known as a skip pass) to move the ball from one side of the
court to the other. This can be an effective way to reverse the ball to the opposite end of the court
when other passes aren’t open so a teammate can receive it with enough time to take a quality
shot.

When to use:

 To pass over a defender whose hands are down.

 Great for skip passes across the court, for outlet passes, or to feed a post.

How to execute:

 Passer should begin with the ball just above the forehead with elbows facing the target.
Don't bring the ball behind the head. It can be stripped from the back, and it takes longer
to throw the pass.
 Grip the ball with the fingers pointed upward and thumbs on the back of the ball pointing
inward.
 A good rule of thumb is that if the arms were rotated downward, the elbows would graze
the ribs.
 This pass should be aimed toward the partner's forehead. She should receive it at about
chin level.
 Many kids are weak in their upper body and triceps muscles, so they will find this to be a
more difficult pass.
 The hands should follow through forehead high and should look just like a bounce pass
or a chest pass, just higher.

Once your players feel comfortable with the first 3 basic passes and they're strong enough to
throw a ball with one hand, it's time to add the one-handed push pass and the baseball pass.

Single hand passes

Baseball pass
Baseball passes are when you throw the ball a long distance using one hand and throwing it
overhand like a baseball. This is not a very accurate pass and is difficult to catch. However, it is
often used effectively as an outlet pass to get the ball up the court quickly on a fast break. This
pass is not allowed in some youth leagues so ask your coach before using it in a game.

When to use:

 To make a long pass to a player down the court. It's a difficult pass to control.

How to execute:

 The baseball basketball pass is thrown just like throwing a baseball.

 It's a very difficult pass for kindergarten and early elementary basketball players to
execute because they have difficulty controlling the ball with their small hands and
generating enough strength to throw it very far with any accuracy.
 The passer faces sideways to the target (parallel to the sideline) with the throwing hand
behind.
 Body weight starts on the back foot.
 Keep two hands on the ball as long as possible to stop the pass or ball fake, if necessary.
  Passer begins with the ball behind his ear with his opposite arm extended and pointing
toward the target.
 The fingers are spread behind the ball.
 Bring the ball forward past the ear by leading with the elbow and stepping with the
opposite foot.
 Shift the weight to the front foot and follow through in the direction of the throw.

Quick basketball passing tips

 Place hands on the sides of the ball, fingers spread, with thumbs facing up. 

 Keep elbows loose and at sides (no chicken wings!) 

 As arms extend, the palms rotate naturally outward and the thumbs rotate downward,
causing ball to spin backwards as it flies. 

 Step in the direction of the target, extending legs, back, and arms. 

 Force wrists "through" the ball. The strong hand tends to dominate, so emphasize forcing
the weak hand through the ball. 

 Ball goes where the fingers direct it. Releasing it off the first and second fingers of both
hands provides backspin and gives the ball direction. 

 Follow through by pointing fingers at the target with palms facing down.
