3. If the challenger side loses 2 points in a row they are out, no
matter what the count is. A clean winner hit by the challenger

as the ball dies (winner or error), the pro immediately feeds in
the next ball so that the point never ends, thus the name, LIVE
BALL.

feeds according to the level of player: lobs, dropshots, line drives

pro feeds in next ball to winning
team as quickly as possible.
5. If a team is "dominating the point"
the rule is forced rotation after
winning 3 in a row.
6. Make sure players who are waiting
are near back fence for safety.

Volley Ball Tennis

Cool down while having fun and
practice setting up you partner
1. Three to four players on each side
of the net.
2. Players should use a transition ball.
3. Players must pass the ball to their
partners, but no more three times
before hitting the ball over the net.
4. The pro is free to walk around and
encourage players.

Consistency Volley
Work on consistency volleys as well as movement
forward. Teamwork

1. One line down the middle with lead

player standing between the net and
service line.
2. Pro is on the opposite side of the net,
at the net in the center with his basket.
3. Can use a spot on the court where the
players are starting the line.
4. The pro starts with a feed. The first
player hits one volley back to the pro
then quickly rotates off the court
through the ladder and back in line.

Partner Volley
1. Cooperative reflex volley drill
with partner.
2. Great for 6-8 players, can do a
circle rotation every few minutes
for partner variety and movement.
3. For variation you may have them
both move to the net and then
back to the service line without
stopping the drill.

Service Drill
Cool down, work on your serve. Attempt
to serve while still out of breath from
the cardio work-out.
1. Four players spread out on the
baseline, four players getting balls
out of the basket.
2. You can use spots on the court to
determine each players' position
for their serves. You can use
targets for servers to hit.
3. Each player serves three balls then
rotate out to get balls and leave
room for the next four players to
serve as well.

Doubles King of the Court with Serves

1. A serving doubles team and a
receiving doubles team. Receivers
are king. Player 1 serves from the
deuce side and plays the point out
with his partner in doubles. Then
Player 1 plays another point from
the ad side.
2. The serving team has to win 2
points to replace the kings. If the
score is 1-1 after the first two
points then player 1 serves a 3rd
point. If the serving team loses 2
points they get back in line.
3. Players 3 and 4 come and take
their turn. Alternate servers for the
points to come. First receiving team
to win 15 king points, wins.

Doubles Tiebreaker
1. If you have access to 2 courts. Have
all 8 players split into doubles team
and play a tie-breaker of doubles.
2. If you are on one court. With 8
players play tie-breakers with 4
players on court and alternate
teams every two points. You can
have 1,2,3,4 play 2 tie-breaker
points, then 5,6,7 and 8 play 2
tie-breaker points until the
tie-breaker is over then winning
team vs winning team. If you have
6 players. Have the two alternating
doubles team ad up their points
against the one team.

Bobsled
For 6-8 players - Use foam ball
Two teams of at least 4 players are in single
file line at their respective baselines.

1. The pro feeds the ball in to either

team; players hit only one ball and
then run to the back of their own line.
2. As players miss they must sit on the
ground with the first player sitting
down just inside the service line. As
more players miss they must join
their bobsled.
3. The opposing team tries to hit the
bobsled as those players bob and
weave to avoid incoming balls.
4. The game is won either by making the
entire opposing team have to sit or by
hitting the other bobsled.

I Did It!
For 4-6 players

1. Short court game with 2 mini tennis

points going on at the same time.
2. Players play one point, win or lose,
and rotate.
3. When a challenger wins a total of 3
points they yell, "I did it" and they
take the champions spot.

Team Serving
1. Two teams of at least 4 players start
at the baseline in a single file line.
One team in position to serve to the
deuce court, the other team in
position to serve to the add court.
2. The ball cart is located in no-mans
land. Each team has a pile of 7 balls
in their alley about as far back as
no-mans land.
3. Eliminate your pile of balls first and
your team wins.
4. Pro starts the game. The players
serving one at a time take turns
serving. If the player makes the
serve, he gets to get a ball out of the
pile to give to his team mate for the
next serve. If he misses he gets the
ball out of the basket.

Serve progression
Great way to introduce the serve without "teaching"

1. Let players stand about 3 feet from

the net, 4 players across parallel
to
the net
2. Players is turned to the right (for a
right handed player) racket is
above the head and tossing arm is
close to the racket
3. Player tosses ball up and uses the
wrist to hit "the serve"
Rotate the players after every hit, as they
progress bring them to the service line.
