This drill focuses on building passing power, specifically targeting the technique of generating force and accuracy when passing the ball.

How to Perform

1Players start in pairs, one player acting as the passer and the other as the catcher.
2The passer begins with their feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and the ball held with both hands, thumbs together.
3The passer then steps forward with their non-throwing foot and transfers their weight onto it, generating power from their legs.
4As they do this, they bring the ball back slightly and then drive it forward, using their hips and legs to generate power.
5The catcher stands with their arms outstretched, ready to receive the pass.
