DESCRIPTION

Hold the ball in the palm of your hand and stand in a good ready position.

Using your bodyweight and movement side-step taking the ball with you, letting it bounce, catching the ball with the other hand and changing direction (don't throw the ball, use the whole body movement to move the ball side-side).
