student will step up to pass back to the tosser. ● Once the tosser has tossed it to each student in their group, the first student who passed the ball will become the tosser and repeat the rotation. ● Once everyone has rotated through tossing and passing, the next round will be setting, where the students will set back to the tosser. Review passing and setting. ● Passing: Clasp one palm inside the other, pointing thumbs towards the group, creating a platform with the forearms. ● Setting: Spread fingers apart and rotate hands above the head, as if pouring a giant cup over the face. Contact the ball with both hands, push through like a superhero, extending hands and arms straight up. Remind tossers to toss gently to their group. ● While passing, the toss should be lower and in front of the passer. ● While setting, the toss should be arced higher, as if to land on top of the setter's forehead.
