Flick Pass Drill

Purpose

Players learn to properly execute a one-handed flick pass.

Drill Setup

• Players pair off and line up across from each other in the lane area.
• Each player should be on the edge of the lane.
• One player has a ball.

How it Works

1. Player with ball passes to the other player.
2. They take turns passing the ball back and forth using a flick pass, snapping the wrist and releasing the ball with one hand.
3. Start with the right-hand flick pass, then move on to the left-hand flick pass.
4. Rule of thumb – work weak hand three times more than strong hand.

Coaching Tips

• Passers start in triple threat position, catchers catch in triple threat position.
• With a flick pass, players should step to throw and snap the wrist.
• Follow through with your passing hand extended and fingers pointed
• Catch the ball with “feet in the air” – meaning you should jump forward to aggressively receive the ball.
