The Overhead Pass - Putting Power behind the Pass

In this session we look at how your players can quickly get the ball to a team-mate higher up the court - using the powerful Overhead Pass to get the ball over the opposition!
A good overhead pass should have a quick, flat and straight flight. It's a basic pass so your players should be able to learn the technique quite quickly which is great as it gives your players a passing option that defenders will find hard to intercept!

Strength is important but there's lots of little pointers that can make a big difference to this technique - from the bending back of your arms, the step into the pass or that final flick and follow through from your fingers!
To help your players to develop their overhead passes we start with a quick technique review before then putting practice into play with a series of three fun and challenging games and drills - designed to get your players moving, timing their runs to catch the overhead pass and working hard!
