The ball starts with one pod. As they are lifted the jumper is held in the air until the next pod is lifted. When the next pod reaches the top of their jump the ball is lobbed to that jumper. Once the ball has been caught they can go back to ground.
The drill continues in this way, with players working together in a piston like fashion.

Notes:
Be sure to have your pods set up at a reasonable distance from each other. As a coach the best position for you would be in the centre of the circle, as you can stand in one spot and view each pod's movements and technique.
If you want an OT ball (off the top) or to ground and pop you can receive the ball and throw it up to the next pod.
