In pairs, standing about 2 metres apart, players pass to one another using a variety of passes:
Chest, shoulder, bounce pass, high pass (to extended arm but feet still in contact with floor).
Vary not only the type of pass but also the speed at which it is made.
Progression:
Players 1 throws the ball with their right hand to player 2 who catches with their left hand, before passing the ball across to their right hand to continue to circle.
Switch direction after 1 minute (left hand pass to right hand catch).
