Setup
Groups of 3 each have a ball and require a 15 x 3m lane. Players stand 3-4m apart to begin, all facing towards (A)'s baseline.
Step 1
(A) throws high to themself, jumps, catches and lands so they can pass to (B).
Step 2
(A) throws a lob pass over (B)'s head which (B) catches and lands effectively to continue progress to (C)
Step 3
(B) finishes with a lob over (C)'s head, which they leap to catch.

(C) lands knowing they'll be changing direction for their next pass.
Step 4
(A & B) take a few steps towards (C). Repeat back the other way, with (C) lobbing to (B), then (B) to (A).
Step 5
The footwork/body motion of (B) will be slightly different to (A & C), so rotate players after 30 seconds so everyone has a turn in the middle.
Step 6
For more experienced teams, extend the passes to 6-7m by spacing players over 2/3 of the court

Passing will be more difficult to land in the perfect spot, so catching player should hold space and leap to catch, not wait under the ball.
