Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.To execute a forearm pass, a player assumes the basic defensive position (knees bent, feet spread, one foot slightly in front of the other). The outstretched arms are brought together with thumbs together and rotated downward. The ball is met by the forearms with a shoveling motion of the arms. The pass should be made with a flowing, coordinated motion of the legs, body, and arms.
