Singular and partner roll shots

2. Partner tosses and catches ball while the
other returns the ball with a roll shot.
-
3. Rather than toss the ball from in front of
partner the tosser stands to the side of their
partner simulating where an overhead pass
would come from in a game situation. Roll
shot is sent to the wall.

while a jump and/or run-up can be added.
