Player 1 passes to player 2 and the goes with a one hand flat stick.
Player 2 upon receiving the ball advance on player 2 and lifts the ball over the stick keeping control at all times and trapping the ball on the other side of the lift. Players switch places and keep repeating. 5 times each.

At all times pay attention to grip and hand positions.
