PASSING IN BASKETBALL Passing in basketball requires touch, vision, dexterity and strength. Good teams have players who look to pass the ball to the open player to take the ball to the basket or get a good look for a jump shot.

THE FIVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BASKETBALL PASSES • Chest Pass • Bounce Pass • Baseball Pass • Outlet Pass • No-Look Pass

CHEST PASS A chest pass is the most basic way to move the basketball from one player to another. If you have an open teammate and there's little or no chance that an opponent will steal the ball, the chest pass should work well.

BOUNCE PASS • The bounce pass often is just as accurate as a chest pass and harder to defend. Hold the ball at chest level and bounce it off the floor halfway between yourself and your teammate.

BASEBALL PASS • The baseball pass is a type to use when you have the ball in the back court often after a steal and your teammate is breaking to the basket.

OUTLET PASS • Defensive rebounders often use the outlet pass. After getting a rebound off the defensive boards, a power forward or the centre will take one step away from the basket and throw the ball toward the side line, where a guard catches it and starts the attack.

NO-LOOK PASS • The no-look pass is designed to confuse the defense. A point guard leading a fast break can use this pass with success. It has a high degree of difficulty because the passer looks in a different direction than the direction in which the ball will be going.
