Instructions

  1. 1Set up two passers with a deliberate seam between their zones.
  2. 2Server aims balls directly into the seam and short-deep gaps.
  3. 3Passers call 'mine' or 'yours' the instant the serve is read, before it crosses the net.
  4. 4Whoever calls it takes one committed shuffle step and passes; the other backs off.

What to focus on

Verbal call happens before the ball crosses the net.

Common mistake

Both passers freezing or reaching late, letting the ball drop between them.
