Players chip (clip) the ball to their partners who attempt to control the ball using aerial control to bring the ball down close to the tall cone.  The ball should be served to their partners at a good height and the players they attempt to get the ball as close to the cone on their first touch as possible.  The ball cannot bounce in the service.The other team then does the same.  The receiving players then serve the ball to their partners. In the example above:

1. R1 clips (chips) the ball up to his partner R2.
2. R2 attempts to control the ball without letting it bounce, as close to the cone as possible. W2 would then do the same for their partner.  Switch roles each turn.  Ball closest to the cone from each team gains a point.

1. Cushion the ball on impact.
2. Good aerial control technique.
3. Get in line with the ball when receiving it, move your feet.

1. None.

1. Allow the ball to bounce when receiving.
