Overhead Pass Basics

What you will learn

Pass safely over a nearby defensive lane. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

1. Prepare on a dry, uncluttered court and start at a comfortable pace.
2. Stand with balanced feet and a partner looking toward you.
3. Hold the ball above your forehead and extend your arms toward a clear target.
4. Aim for a catchable height rather than maximum distance.
5. Practise a few calm repetitions and gradually vary the angle only when ready.

Coaching tips

• Do not throw toward an unaware person.
• Keep control and awareness of other players on the court.

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
