Rings (targets) are set on each player's side. Players play throw and catch game. Each player scores the point if the ball lands inside the ring. Game is played up to 7 points.
Using throw and catch exercises is one of the best methods for kids because they can play games even if their tennis skills are not suitable to play real tennis. Catching the ball requires good ball perception and positioning while throwing the ball underhand is a good opportunity to work on low to high motion that is necessary to play tennis strokes effectively.
In this game, players compete against each other using catching and throwing skills. Rings as targets are set to make players control the placement, direction, and depth of the ball. Additionally, the coach can set up rings in particular sports to make kids work on specific tactical patterns. To make it more fun for kids, the coach can put one "extra" ring that counts for 2 because kids love bonus points.
