Mix it up, with most passes missing (A)'s body

Vary the height and pace of the pass to add difficulty.
Step 2
(A) reels the pass in with a one-handed catch, or a two-handed catch if possible (however in many instances it will require a single hand to reach).
Step 3
(A) brings the ball back to their core and returns to (B) with a chest pass.
Step 4
Repeat for 30 seconds then swap roles.
