  2. If you're a basketball player who wants to improve your offense, you must learn how to throw the bounce pass. You may think of it as a way to pick apart the defense and create more opportunities for your team.  • This article will explain how to develop the skill. ©Copyright by Shootaway.com

  3. 1. Practice your Jump Stop • A jump stop is when you execute a routine jump stop and then use your legs to create more force on your bounce pass.  • As you land back on the floor, push off with one foot and leap forward, delivering a perfect bounce pass. A mistake many make is neglecting their legs' power during jump stops. However, a rebounding net basketball can help solve that problem by giving you rebounds, which teaches you how to develop consistency with your jump stop. ©Copyright by Shootaway.com

  4. 2. Learn how to control the ball • With an automatic basketball return or basketball hoop rebounder, you can practice ball control at your own pace.  • This helps you understand how to control a bouncing ball and builds confidence so your teammates will be comfortable playing with you when you throw bounce passes. ©Copyright by Shootaway.com

  5. 3. Work on your arm's speed • You may know how to throw a bounce pass and even have mastered your form, but if you can't get enough power behind it to clear an opponent, your pass will fall short. It takes practice to build up arm speed and develop more powerful throws, so get plenty of reps. ©Copyright by Shootaway.com

  6. 4. Know who you are passing to • If your teammates have good hands, a high rate of catching passes, or are elite at shooter basketball, try to place your pass exactly where they need it.  • For example, if they like the ball slightly higher than average when shooting from outside, don't just put it up there—put it directly into their shooting motion. ©Copyright by Shootaway.com

  7. 5. Master your technique • The key to throwing a good bounce pass is technique. It's essential to keep your arm fully extended to avoid giving away your intended target. When you make contact with your non-dominant hand, bring it up and over towards your opposite shoulder. Then rotate that arm through as you bounce off it. This will release the ball at its highest point, making it easier for your teammate to catch it without jumping too high. ©Copyright by Shootaway.com

  8. Conclusion • Very few basketball players know how to throw a bounce pass successfully. Yet, it is an essential skill in your repertoire if you're playing on a basketball team at any level. Follow these five tips for throwing a perfect bounce pass in basketball. ©Copyright by Shootaway.com
