A chest pass is a very fast and flat pass. This enables a team to move quickly up a court in a precise and accurate fashion.

Stage one

• Stand with feet shoulder width apart and on the balls of your feet, with back straight and knees slightly bent.
• Place hands on the sides of the ball with the thumbs directly behind the ball and fingers comfortably spread.

Stage two

• The ball should be held in front of the chest with the elbows tucked in.
• Step in the direction of the pass, by extending their legs, back, and arms.
• Push the ball from the chest with both arms (not from one shoulder).
• Fingers are rotated behind the ball and the thumbs are turned down.

Stage three

• The back of the hands face one another with the thumbs straight down.
• Make sure the ball is released off the first and second fingers of both hands.
• Follow through to finish up with the arms fully extended, fingers pointing at the target and thumbs pointing to the floor.
