The aim of this activity is to score a point by making the ball bounce on the other side of the court.

Set up a playing area with a dividing line in the middle for each group of eight players. Divide each group into two groups of four, who take their places on either side of the dividing line. One team starts with the ball and throws above head height into the opposition area. The player who threw the ball must run to the back line before returning to the game. The rally continues until the ball is either thrown out or lands on the ground. A point is awarded to the team that did not make the mistake. The team that gets to 10 points first is the winner.

Progressions:

• The player volley the ball either with their hand or a racquet
• Introduce another ball
• Divide the playing area into four sections. Players run to the base line and back to their own section.
• As above, but players can move into any sections. If their space has been filled by another player, they can fill the empty section. 
• Have a net for the player to throw over.

Modifications

Fewer players per team, use racquets, make playing area bigger/smaller. use a net
