  2. Tossers throws ten balls to the blockers.

  3. Blockers surround ball with hands and catch the ball and the tosser's side of the net.

  4. For the next set of ten balls the blockers surround balls with their hands and block them down, without batting at the ball.

  5. For the next set of ten balls the tosser hits down balls at the blocker's hand.
