- The ball at the red player’s foot: the start of the first pass.
- The dotted curved path: the red player’s run around the blue player.
- The blue player: the opponent standing between the runner and the open space.
- The solid white arrow: the return pass into the open grass ahead of the runner.
Examples
- In basketball, a player passes to a teammate and cuts to the basket for a return pass.
- In handball, a player passes and sprints behind a defender to receive the ball again.
Key takeaways
- A give-and-go uses a first pass to move the defender, then a return pass into space.
- Timing the run is as important as making the pass.
