Pepper: Hitting the Ball

Player B will get into position to hit the ball from a standing position back to Player A. First, he will need to get his feet to the ball. Once in position, he should keep the ball in front of his hitting arm, take a step into it with the opposite leg and then take a nice, controlled but hard-driven swing at his partner.

Keep in mind that this is a warm-up drill. The first several swings should be nice and easy and hit directly at the partner. After both players are warm, the game can escalate so that players are diving and moving to get to the ball.
