The Behind-the-back pass is intimately related to the change behind the back. You can combine both of these teachings since there are a lot of transfer. A good way to teach them is through the Behind-the-back pass bounced.
By varying the range and strength can teach a change (short-range and weak force) or pass (long range and intense force).In addition, it can also be used as a resource to feint in a situation of 2×1.
