The Bounce Pass in Basketball

Another pass that you can use that's really effective is called the bounce pass. The bounce pass is really basic and it actually can be used in a lot of different ways. I'll show you some events, techniques of bounce passing later, but for right now the bounce pass is really basic. Just like the other passes, you want to step into your pass, towards the man you?re passing to, man or woman, man or woman that you're passing it to, and what you want to do is, just as with the other passes, you want to position the ball so that, so that when you pass it, so that when you pass it, it hits the man in a proper position so that he can make a decision, a good decision. He can either shoot it, pass it to someone else, but it's right here in his bread basket, is what they call it, right here in his bread basket. So, when you're doing a bounce pass, you want to make sure, first of all, that you step into the pass and that you place the ball in a position where it bounces, so that it hits him right there in the numbers. The way that you do that is, you want to, if I got even space in between me and the man, what I want to do is, I want to, I don't want to hit it in the middle of the court, I want to hit it a little closer to him, the person I'm passing it to, so that it hits him right in that space. So, when I pass it, it hits him right in that space, right in that, right in the numbers. So, just another thing for you to look at whenever you're working on your bounce pass.
