Toe Tapping:

Both players stand with their arms straight and hands on the shoulders of their playing partner. The aim of the game is to lightly touch the top of your partner's foot with your foot.

Bump:

Throw the ball in the air, let it bounce then bend your legs. Put your arms out in front and bump the ball up using mainly leg movement not arm swing.

Keep it going, changing which arm you bump the ball with (try and use good rhythm and mainly legs).

Volley:

One partner catches and throws or volleys the ball moving the other partner side-side so as to be able to volley using good footwork and rhythm to play the ball back to the partner.

MVT:VOLLEY

Bounce and Move:

One of the partners has the ball and holds it out away from their body in front of their belly button. The player then turns and drops the ball and the partner has to move and catch the ball before it bounces twice and they repeat (no dummy moves and the ball must land twice in the same place).

As they get better at the game, the player catching the ball must be facing their partner when they catch the ball and the ball must be caught with their hands just in front of and between their knees.

The catcher then must turn and drop the ball within 1 or 2 seconds. You play this game for points or time.
