Sideway passing is made, when the ball must be passed on after a direct press against the defense.
The sideway passing is faster than the ordinary throw, which also is an advance in the press play.

In order to make a sideway passing it is important that the player is able to hold the ball with the back of the hand turned upwards without loosing it.

The sideway pass is performed by holding the hand with the ball in front of the body with one hand - back of the hand upward.
Now a stretching of the elbow is performed and at the same time the hand is turned so the ball points in the direction of the receiver.
The ball is flicked away with a pressure of the fingers, especially with the thumb.
