DESCRIPTION

Players stand in pairs on each side of the court. The player at the front of the pair attempts to jump and set the ball to the player at the back of the pair opposite them before moving aside. This player then sets the ball to the players at the front of the pair opposite, who does the same. The drill now begins again.

COACHING POINTS
