Behind the Back Pass:

Arm loops behind the back with the ball. Release the ball when the arm is behind the back and beyond the spine to get the accuracy on the pass.

Right Hip Pass and Catch:

Stand 3 m away from a wall. Passing off the right hip against the wall so that you can catch the ball again without moving. See how many you can do.

Passing Technique

Behind the back pass:

Stand about 10 feet away from a wall.

Pass the ball around your back so it bounces back on your front side. Once you catch the ball again, you wrap it around your back again and continue the drill in the same way.
