FAKE AND PASS

While passing with their strong hand players will fake the ball before passing it off. Fakes can range from 2-3 pumps to 5-6 pumps. Encourage players to mix up their fakes between fast, slow, few, many etc. While faking, the ball should remain high in a shooting position behind the player's head and shoulders should be high out of the water.
Players may initially feel silly doing repeated fakes without real pressure. If need be, coaches can assign a defense instructed to loosely defend against the passers.
