What is a dump pass?

A dump pass is a short, backward (or sideways) pass to a teammate who is in a safer, nearby position to reset the stall and regain offensive control. When the defense clamps down and the stall count starts to rise, the offense uses a dump to relieve pressure, keep possession, and reestablish their setup with a quick, low-risk option. It’s not about throwing a long downfield target, nor about tossing the disc to the defender or out of bounds. The dump serves to reset the sequence and give the offense time to reorganize.
