PassingChest pass: *Start with both elbows out and the ball at your

chest. Throw the ball to your partner or teammate, then follow through with straight arms and thumbs pointed down.

Bounce Pass:* Start the same way. Bounce ball 2/3 of the way

between you and your partner so the ball bounces up to his/her waist level. Follow through with arms straight and pointing at the ground where you want the ball to bounce.
