pass and receive the ball. Ask the class what is the
close or forward if
quickest way to get the ball down the court. In order to too far.
maintain possession of the ball you must be able to
pass, and thus your teammates need to get open to
receive a pass.

sound bounce, chest, and over the head pass. Tell them
the critical elements (in teaching cues). Explain how to
10 Min receive a pass as well.
