Performing a bounce pass in netball
A bounce pass is a short pass that enables the player to find a teammate in a crowded area. The height of the ball makes it difficult for the opposition to reach and intercept.
This video looks at the bounce and chest pass techniques used in netball
Stage one
- Feet shoulder-width apart in opposition, with knees bent.
- Place hands each side and slightly behind the ball, with the fingers comfortably spread.
- Hold the ball at waist level, with elbows tucked in.
Stage two
- Step in the direction of the pass, through extending your legs, back and arms.
- The wrist and fingers should be forced through the ball releasing it off the first and second fingers of both hands.
- Follow through with the arms fully extended, fingers pointing at the target and thumbs pointing to the floor.
