This drill involves three performers, one performer will start with the ball and the others will stand in front of each other. The performer closest to the performer with the ball just stands still, however the performer behind them will receive the ball on each side of the performer in front.

This drill can be easily adaptable for example instead of the ball on the floor, the receiver can have it in the air for a volley or a header.
