How to do it
- This drill is great for chest passes when you lack a partner or a wall of sufficient strength. Lay on the ground on your back with your knees bent.
- Begin with the ball on your chest, held with both hands on the bottom.
- Explode up, extending through the elbow to throw the ball directly above you as high as possible.
- Catch the ball with both hands as it comes down.
