4 players per court and kids will partner up and play on one half of the court. Each pair will try to keep 10-20 balls in play without missing. Level 1 is really close and easy, then it keeps progressively getting further away and more difficult. They must complete however many shots in a row at each level before moving onto the next. Go until one pair can complete L4, then have everyone rotate a spot to their right on their court and start over with a new partner. Variations: Only forehands on forehand side and only backhands on backhand side. Crosscourt instead of down the line.
Great drill for progressing groundstroke consistency. Emphasize the benefit of a high topspin ball that will maximize room for error.
