Setup
- Have players line up in a single file line.
- Coach stands near the net with a basket of balls.
How it works
- Coach tosses a ball in the air and hits a downball at the first player in line.
- Player passes the ball back to the coach
- Coach immediately tosses a second ball in front or to the side of player who has to pass this ball as well.

- This drill can be done with multiple lines simultaneously or with players hitting the first downball so that more players are involved at once.
