Students are practising their basketball passing skills. Ask your child to explain to you the proper technique to complete a chest pass or a bounce pass! They should mention:
- keeping feet shoulder length apart
- taking a step as you throw
- pointing your hands towards the person (chest pass)
- pointing you hands towards the "target" on the floor (bounce pass)
- target the ball 3/4 of the way to the person you are passing to (bounce pass)
- throwing it hard enough to get to your teammate, but not too hard
- receiving the ball by pulling it in to your body
