What is a "long pass"?
A long pass in sports is a pass made over a greater distance than usual, typically aimed at a teammate who is far away. It requires strength, precision, and good timing to send the ball accurately over a long distance, often to start an attack or catch the opposing team off guard. A long pass is commonly used in games like soccer, football, and basketball to quickly move the ball down the field or court. The goal is to reach a teammate in a good position to either continue the play or score.
Examples
He made a long pass to the striker.
