Hand Passing
beginner
Hand pass - Closed fist or palm open
The hand pass is used to deliver the ball to a teammate at close range. The ball is struck with a closed fist for a fast, accurate pass.
How to do it
Make a flat hand or a soft fist, hold the ball in your other hand, then punch the ball to your friend! Keep your fist firm and aim where you want the ball to go. It's like a super fast punch-pass!

03
Step Into It
Step towards your target as you pass for more power and accuracy.
04
