Procedure
Player A plays a direct pass to C. Depending on the command from B, C either turns with the ball or lets it bounce back (one-touch) to B. Then, a pass is made to D. On a "bounce" command, D plays a one-two pass with C, and on a "turn" command, D plays a one-two pass with B. After the one-two pass, D passes back to A. All players rotate one position forward. After half the time, the exercise starts from position D.
