Skill learnt- Chess passing involves you bending your arms and holding the ball in toward your chest and then using your arms like a spring to project the ball in the direction of your choosing. When releasing the ball you must ensure that only your fingertips are touching ball to ensure you get maximum projection on the pass.
Technique- The chest pass is an easy one to master and this is because of the simplicity of the pass. All you need to do is draw it close to your chest and they push your arms forward and then push the ball away with your fingertips.
Tactic- The chest pass is the most common form of passing in netball. This is because it enables people to get good power on a throw even though they cannot move from the spot. The fact that they can't move when throwing means they need to find another method for getting power on their pass, and so the chest pass is a good tactic for getting around this problem. It allows players to spread the ball further than any other pass would.
The chest pass was easy to master and I felt I was reasonably good at it. If I had a weakness at this it would be that I overshot passes from times to time, which lost possession for my team.
