	Forward pass - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In American and Canadian football, a forward pass — usually called simply a pass — is a throwing of the football from a member of the team in possession of the ball to another member of the same team who is closer to that team's goal.
		If an eligible receiver on the passing team legally catches the ball it is a complete pass and the receiver may attempt to advance the ball.
		The person passing the ball must be a member of the offensive team, the recipient of the forward pass must be an eligible receiver, and must touch the passed ball before any ineligible player.

		Rule 7-5-1 states, "It is a legal forward pass, if during a scrimmage down and before team possession has changed, a player of A throws the ball with both feet of the passer in or behind the neutral zone when the ball is released." This rule gives us two important clues.
		Pass Interference Restrictions and the Neutral Zone Understanding where players are located in relation to the neutral zone and where the ball is possessed or lands incomplete is important for understanding pass interference restrictions.
		Rule 7-5-7 states, "Pass interference restrictions only apply beyond the neutral zone (emphasis mine) and only if the legal forward pass, untouched by B in or behind the neutral zone, crosses the neutral zone." We learn from this rule that pass interference cannot be called if a forward pass never crosses the neutral zone.

	NFLHS.COM - Position Index - The Forward Pass
		Because passing the ball requires great concentration, correct grip, proper body movement and arm action, control of the football until the moment of release, and good follow though, it is extremely important that the quarterback practices the basics of passing over and over again until they become second nature to him.
		His goal must be to grip the ball the same, to use identical footwork in setting up for each pass, to execute the same body movement as he moves forward to throw the ball, and to release the ball with as close to the same action as possible on every forward pass.
		In addition to learning the mechanics of passing the ball from classic dropback style, the quarterback also must master the proper footwork and action for the various other types of passes that he will be asked to throw.

	Planet Field Hockey.com - Reading a Successful Forward Pass
		For a forward pass to be successful, both the person passing the ball (the “passer”) and the person receiving the ball (the “receiver”) need to have an understanding.
		The direction of pass is shown as a solid line and receiver running off the ball to receive the pass is shown as the dotted line.
		The pass will need to be at the same velocity as the receiver running to get to the ball, therefore it must be very slow even if the receiver is a world class sprinter.
