What is a "short pass"?
A short pass is a pass made over a short distance between players, usually aimed at maintaining possession or setting up a play. It is often used when players are close to each other and want to quickly move the ball without taking risks. In sports like soccer or basketball, short passes help maintain control of the game and can create opportunities for better positioning or a more strategic pass.
