The scrumhalf pass:
Pass of the ground2.
Dive pass3.
;Pivot pass
Pass of the ground: The feet are the starting point for balance and speed of action
Be in position waiting for the ball , when it comes foot furthest from target is placed next to the ball, head over the ball , eyes fixed on ball
Wide base push the front foot out , toe pointing to receiver , lower you are wider the base
Spread fingers, grasp ball, begin to step , head moves through in front of hands to sight target and start to transfer weight to foot closest to target , sweep the ball from the ground , bent knees ,low body position , follow through with hands to the target area ,flick fingers and wrists to give spin to the ball. At the end of the follow through of the arms , the fingers can adjust the direction of the pass.
The widening of the base and the sweep from the ground should occur at the same timeTransfer body weight from one leg to the other while sweeping
Dive pass:Useful for when the ball is not presented well by your forwards
Place one foot close to the ball , putting weight over the ball , hands on ball , fingers spread , hard leg drive , flick the wrists
Pivot pass :Stay on your toes and low to the ground with your behind tucked in as close to the scrum as possible
Hands on ball, pivot on foot closest to ball and sweep ball and stretch leg to target as in clearing pass trying to get toes pointing to target
The diving pivot pass is sometimes safer than the standing pivot pass
Always try for maximum accuracy then speed of pass.Correct foot placement is necessary for accuracy, speed and distance
Strengthen wrists,arms,shoulders
Use the momentum of legs, body, shoulders to get distance
Fix eyes on target to ensure the ball is passed to the correct place
The weight should be on one leg at the moment the pass is made
Make sure they practice following their pass after it is made to get involved and not sit back and watch the game
