Setup
Players are divided into pairs with 1 ball for each pair. Player 1 stands along the touchline, while player 2 starts about 5 yards away facing their partner. Players 2 will start with the ball.
Instructions
The player 2 holds the ball in their hands and jogs backwards across the field making tosses to their partner. The player 1 jugs forward and receives the ball and returns the ball to their partner. When the players reach the other touchline, the roles should be switched and return to the other touchline. The players should work on one of the following skills each time across the field.
