Players start on one side of the court and have a ball in their hands, and another in the middle of the court.
They overhand pass the ball in their hands forward so that it drops on the other side of the laying ball.
The players then run, jump over the ball and underhand pass the ball back to a teammate who will be waiting at the starting position. The next player will then do the drill.
