It is important that the player making the pass is not too quick, but waits for the right moment when the player receiving the ball is in the right position relevant to the defence (not too far and not too close).
Pri povratnih podajah je pomembno, da igralec, ki povratno podajo izvaja (žogo podaja), ne izvede prehitro, ampak počaka, da se igralec, ki mu je žogo podal, ustrezno (ni predaleč ali preblizu) zaleti proti branilcem.
