DESCRIPTION

Players work in pairs facing each other, and with a crash mat by one of the players, who starts on one knee.

The opposite player starts with the ball and underhand passes it to their teammate, who has to dive onto the crash mat and dig the ball back.

The player passing should ensure varied passes.
