How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Sit side by side with your partner, knees bent, feet grounded, and enough space to rotate safely.
  2. 02The outside partner holds a medicine ball close to the chest while both athletes brace and sit tall.
  3. 03Rotate toward the partner and make a controlled lateral handoff rather than throwing the ball.
  4. 04The receiving partner rotates away, then returns the ball through the same controlled path.
  5. 05Continue for the assigned passes, then change seating positions so both sides are trained evenly.
