Landing Shuttles:

2 Feeders and 1 worker.

The worker receives the ball from one of the feeders and passes it diagonally to the other feeder.
Worker then moves across to receive the ball back from the second feeder.
Repeat.

It's very important that the worker lands on the outside foot every time she catches the ball to be able to step with the other foot towards her next intended pass.
