The team catches the Kinball, carries it to the centre of the court, and then passes the ball to the instructor.
The players holding the ball are down on one knee, head down, and hands underneath the ball and fingers pointed to the centre of the circle.
Done safely, the ball is pushed up with two hands, or hit off the arm with the hands held together.
