Define an area for each pair to play within. Pairs strike a ball to each other using their hands. The ball must be hit up in the air and can only bounce once before it must be hit again. If the ball goes outside of the area on the full, the rally stops and the pair starts counting from zero. The winning pair will keep the rally going and accumulate the highest number of hits.

Progressions:

• After a player has hit the ball, they must move.
• Use a racquet to hit the ball
• Play against each other, attempting to place the ball so that the partner connot hit it before it bounces twice.
• Can introduce a net between the two players.

Encourage players to:

Be side-on when striking, hit the ball into spaces, leave balls that will go out on the full.

Modifications

Play two versus two, use racquet and tennis ball, take away the bounce and make it a volley.

Special Needs Modifications

allow more bounces, use a bigger ball.
