2+ players, one ball per player, 1/3 space.
1. Players set up facing eachother about 1 metre apart with a ball each.
2. Sidestepping the third, players alternate each ball using one handed passes.
3. Variation: One partner is 'bumping' the ball off to the working partner with their own ball using high passes.
4. Variation: One partner is bumping the ball side to side with their own ball. Finishw with some over head bumps.
5. Variation: Partners side step down the court with one partner as the 'bumper'.
Use 'soft' passing when doing the alternating of passes and 'move' with the ball.
Encourage good footwork and ideally not stepping while the ball is in posession.
