Knee Left Side Pass:

Player kneels down on the ground in a sideways position. The coach tosses a medicine ball to the player. The player catches, turns and throws the ball back by using upper body rotation. This exercise is a great tool to improve backhand stroke by learning how to generate more power without using lower body.
