Three person warm-up: bump pass

In this video, you will learn how to do a 'bump pass' warm-up, in threes, with one ball.

Two exercises are: bump passing the ball back on to another player and bump passing the ball and following it.

First, bump passing the ball back .

The aim of this exercise is to warm up your buimp pass receiving skills.

Stand in a triangle about 4 or 5m away from each other.

Players 1 and 3 each have a ball.

Player 1 makes an overhand serve to player 2.

Player 2 receives the ball with a bump pass and sends it on to player 3.

Meanwhile, player 3 throws their ball to player 1.

Player 1 makes another overhand pass to player 2 and so on.

Repeat this for several minutes, then change roles.

Next up, passing the ball and following it.

Get into a line. Player 1 stands in front of player 2. Player 3 stands 4 or 5m away, facing the other players.

Player 1 throws the ball underarm to player 3 and then runs in the same direction to take player 3's place.

Player 3 sends the ball back with a bumppass to player 2 who has moved forward to take the place of player 1, then player 3 runs to take player 2's place.

Player 2 receives the ball and sends it back to player 1 with a bump pass then runs to take player 1's place.

Player 1 receives the ball from their new position then sends it back to player 3, and so on.

Keep going for as long as possible without dropping the ball.

This exercise will prepare you to position and control your bump passes

Enjoy your warm up!
