2. Passes
Stage: Intermediate
Stage Characteristics:
1. Brings ball in
2. Pushes ball forward
3. Releases ball in air or ground
What to Change: The first guy doing a chest pass needs to bring the ball in and move his body back. Next, he needs to push the ball forward with his body while keeping his elbows out. He needs to remember to point his fingers to his target after releasing the ball too. The girl passing to the left and right side needs to bend her knees more. When passing to the right, she needs to cross her left foot in front and use her left hand only to hold the ball. When she passes, she needs to use her right hand only. When passing to the left, she needs to cross her right loot in front and use her right hand only to hold the ball. When she passes, she needs to use her left hand only. When doing an over-the-head pass, it needs to look similar to a soccer throw-in. The ball should be brought behind the head, body should lean back and come forward with the ball, and ball should be released above the head.
Cues: Move body back and forward with the motion of the ball
Point fingers to target after release
Use upper body muscles, not just arms
