Age Group - 8 to 14yrs No. of Players - Ideally 8 but works with as few as 4 and up to 16. Set-Up - Create a 20-yard square with a line of cones across the middle to mark the net. Divide the players into equal teams How to Play - One player bounces the ball then serves it across the net with a half volley or by chipping it with the side of the foot. The receiving team must play it back across the net, effectively using each players body as a tennis racquet.
Players can use their feet, chest or head to control the ball before pasing it back across the net. Start with 2/3 bounces, reducing to 1 as they progress and then 0. TIP - Encourage player to juggle the ball before returning it and let them try to pass it to each other in the air
