Instructions

Place two posts (sticks) two feet apart. Using any sort of line (string, tape) tie it ankle height between the two posts as shown. Soccer ball will be in your hands as if you just caught a volley. Get set one foot away from one post as shown. Dive over the string holding and securing the ball the whole way over. Repeat making sure you switch half way through diving both to your left and your right sides.
