Basketball Passing Techniques: Chest, Bounce and Overhead Passes

Passing moves the basketball quickly between teammates and creates better scoring opportunities. A strong pass is accurate, difficult to intercept and delivered at the right moment. The chest pass travels directly from one player’s chest to another’s. The bounce pass hits the floor about two-thirds of the way to the receiver and is useful when defenders are crowding the passing lane. An overhead pass helps players send the ball over a defender. After a defensive rebound, the first pass that starts an attack is called an outlet pass. Advanced options include no-look and behind-the-back passes, but players should use them only when they can maintain control and avoid turnovers.
