Coach tosses the ball anywhere on the court (or off the court) and calls out a number between 1-3. Players have that many contacts to get the ball back to Coach.
Preliminary: Play for 3 minutes or so.
Player Focus: Focus on one player and have them return one-contact back to you (shout "1") - short, long, tip, rolls. After ~10 of these, have them assume a defensive position to dig a hard-hit ball. When they dig a playable ball, they are out and you can focus on the next player.

If you do not have a ball in hand, count down from 3. If you reach 0 without a ball, there is a team consequence.
