(English)

A “skip” pass should start from above the player’s heads, holding the ball in two hands. The pass should then be “flat”, to be caught by their team mate above their head. It is a difficult pass to throw as it uses the triceps, which are a relatively small muscle group. The player should also step forward as they pass which will help to give power to the pass.

If a player attempts to throw a “skip” pass from their chest, it will be more easily intercepted as the pass will go in an arc, which gives the defender more time to move to try and intercept.
