Domaine(s)
  • Football nord-américain
DEF

Passe courte, habituellement faite des deux mains vers un porteur de ballon qui coupe vers l'extérieur.

OBS

La passe en lob peut souvent préparer un jeu surprise (ex. : passe du porteur de ballon à un receveur), la défensive étant déséquilibrée.

OBS

Le terme remise de ballon est inacceptable, car, lors de chaque jeu au sol, sauf la faufilade du quart, il y a remise de ballon du quart-arrière au porteur de ballon.

OBS

Le terme passe-pelle est inacceptable, étant un calque de l'anglais.
