2.3.2 Advanced passing – baseball pass
A “baseball” pass is a one handed pass that is used to throw the ball long distances. When throwing the pass the person stands side on to their target and lifts the ball to just above their shoulder. Their passing hand is behind the ball, with their elbow pointing to the ground and the other hand on the side of the ball.
The player steps toward their target and throws the pass across their body, twisting their body so that their chest faces the target as the ball is released.
Young players will often start a long pass at their hip and their hand underneath the ball and then throw it by moving their arm in a circular motion. This technique will usually be inaccurate and should be discouraged.
As with any pass, taking a small step forward as the pass is thrown helps to give power to the pass.
