Definition
‘The action of throwing the ball to a teammate with the aim of safeguarding the possession of the ball for the team while creating new threats, or will keep the existing ones’. (Cedric Arregui).
The Pass is the first foundation ‘social’ in any team sport. In Basketball you can take multiple forms and trajectories. It is the base of any game on computer and in addition it is the maximum expression of the cohesion of the group. If we pass, not only you have to take into account the action of throwing the ball. You will also implied the action of receiving. A pass is an action in which they are involved two people. Which gives the pass and he that receiveth it. To do this there must be a complicity between the passer and receiver. The pin must intuit what is the intention of the receiver and calculate the trajectory of the pass so that the ball matches the desplazmiento of the receiver.
The Pass is the most important resource to mobilize in the circulation of the ball. Without movement of the ball, any team falters in a sport of invasion. The pass serves to move to the defenses and get top rankings shooting. A pass will always be faster than a ball bounced in the mid and long range. Even with a pass in hand, is faster and more secure than a pot over short distances. The passes can be misleading, seek to be timely and must be accurate. These create tactical advantages that should be taken advantage of and maintained.
Tactically, the Pass is used to:
- Check out the ball in an area that is overloaded
- Move quickly in a contrataque
- Move the defense forcing and cansándola protecting the threats in function of the situation of the ball
- To pass to a teammate unchecked to make a launch
- Pass and cut to return to receive and slip into the hoop
Objectives of Teaching
- Get in Triple Threat, facing the hoop and getting to know the situation of peers and rivals.
- Prioritize the Pass on the Pot.
- Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of teammates.
- Anticipate trajectories to pass developed.
- Use fakes because they are a valuable resource.
- To assess the position of the defender (if you are very far away he will be able to intercept it).
- Make flow the ball with passes fast and accurate.
- To measure the strength of the pass so that it arrives in optimal conditions to the receiver.
- Be sure that the pass is going to get. If there is a doubt of a possible loss, it is best to seek and/or wait for better options.
- Passing out of the reach of the defender.
- Go to the ‘shot pocket (pocket shot) of the partner in provision of shot so that you can put together the shot of quicker and more convenient.
Most common errors
- Receives without addressing the hoop, and without knowing the situation of peers and rivals.
- Receives and the first thing he does is throw away.
- Gives the pass without assessing the advantages and disadvantages that may occur.
- Calculates the wrong path and the pass does not arrive, or is intercepted by the defender.
- Not used for thin to deceive and is predictable.
- It does not measure the distance of the defender.
- Interrupts the advantage of stopping the circulation of the ball and gives time for the defense reseat.
- Da passes loose or too strong, doing that you are not arriving at their destination or that are out of your hands.
- Gives the pass with doubts, and the ball does not reach the receiver.
- Passed to the scope of the defender and it cuts off the pass.
- Passes to the partner and it has to adjust your whole body and body segments to be able to catch the ball.
The foundation of the Pass must be the tonic of any team to promote the involvement of all the players and benefit from the fast movement of the ball to move defenses and generate benefits that are then to be able to maintain and build on.
Do more damage to five other players who know how to distinguish and connect passes a player to pot the ball. The ball past will always be faster that a ball dropped and if you stick to the ratio of expenses/profit, will always be better to pass it on to five players pins that load a single player that pot really well.
Below are the phases that make up the action of passing..
Before you give the Pass
The player should be valued: the possibility of creating an advantage with that pass, the possibility of giving the pass in a function of the distance of the ombudsman with regard to the future receptor. The pin will need to know what is their placement in the field in relation to the baskets, to look around to be able to perceive the placement of the companions and the distance of its defenders closest to him, to interpret their actions and to evaluate the actions to perform. You have to read the game. When we go to give the pass, it is important to know what is the type of pivot because if the situation requires it be lifted.
NOTE: LIFTING THE PIVOT FOOT -consult the regulations relative to the ‘Advancement illegal’ (see article 25). One has TO REMEMBER the rule over the player closely marked (see article 27).
During the Pass
The pin has to make a reading of the trajectory of the ball, and check that it reaches its destination. The player receiver must have secured the advantage of space-time on his or her counsel in order to receive.
After the Pass
If it is set the Game free with guidelines that will predict the possible displacements of the companions as well as the various tactical actions available to the root of that pass. In case of having any System will be played by knowing the tactical options that there are, and you will be on the lookout to break the system and take advantage of the benefits created.
The Pass is the foundation that probably less work. It is essential that you prioritize since it mobilizes the associations between our players. The work of reception is also poorly trained and should have more room in the routines of the team. It’s our job as coaches to teach the virtues of the Pass and it is vital that the players understand that without team play there is no game.
Finally, we describe the different types of Passes in Basketball that are used quite often:
