Players stand in a row in the centre of the court facing the net. There should be two balls on the sidelines, either side of each player.
On the coach's whistle the players shuffle sideways to the ball on their left, imitate an underhand pass, then shuffle back to the centre of the court.
The players then repeat the action but move toward the ball on their right hand side.
