- One server, one passer, and one catcher/target player about 15 feet apart.
Instructions
- The server tosses or serves the ball underhand to the passer.
- The passer moves their feet to get square to the ball and forms a platform to redirect it toward the target.
- The target catches the pass and feeds the ball back to the server.
- Rotate through all three roles every few minutes.
Coaching Points
- Get the body square to the target before the ball arrives, not after.
- Use the legs to generate the pass, not just the arms swinging.
- Watch the ball all the way to contact.
Variation
Progress from a toss to a real underhand serve once footwork and platform are consistent.
