key skills in netball

ANSWERS

Hi Kefentse,

In netball, a two-handed pass is a basic and commonly used technique to move the ball between players. Here's how a two-handed pass is performed:

Positioning:

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

Hold the ball with both hands, using your fingertips to grip it.

Grip:

Ensure that your thumbs and fingers are evenly spread across the surface of the ball for better control.

Hold the ball at chest height, keeping your elbows slightly bent.

Footwork:

Distribute your weight evenly on both feet. Position yourself so that you can see your teammates and have a clear passing lane.

Execution:

Push the ball with both hands simultaneously, extending your arms straight in the direction of your intended target. Aim for a smooth and controlled release of the ball.

Follow-through:

After releasing the ball, follow through with your hands in the direction of the pass. This helps to maintain accuracy and ensures that the ball reaches your target.

Hope this helps.
