Works on contact point and and control. Start with your players in line at a short distance from the net or a line ( to tap over). The first player tries to bounce and tap the ball over the net. If they do, they go to the end of the line. If they donât, they are on the hot seat and can be knocked out if the next player has a successful tap over. However, if the second player also misses, the first player goes to the back of the line and the second player is on the hot seat. Proceed in this manner until there is only one player left in the game. Progression: This is a great game to close practice. Safety: Ensure the players will spread out. Use one racquet per player.
