You will probably be asking "why teach the Right Side Pass with Hand Change before teaching the Right Side Pass itself?" The reason is that it just falls into place very easily and the students have no trouble going straight into it from an Underarm Pass with Hand Change directly into the Right Side Pass with Hand Change. It would take much more class time to teach the Right Side Pass first.

The Shotgun Lead will also be introduced here. The Shotgun Lead can be done from the man's either 2nd or 4th Foot Positions. I prefer the 2nd Foot Position, so that is what will be taught here.
