Tennis: High balls are last balls

-Player serves to deuce court towards feeder and comes to the net. -The first player on the advantage side shadows the server and comes to net. -Feeder hits a ball to server who returns it cross court. -Feeder hits towards server again but the shadow server intercepts and hits cross-court winner.

Players are effectively playing a game of touch-doubles, so the ball is fed in and the point played out within the service boxes, with the tramlines being out. Players must use touch and feel as no pace or power can be use to win the point. They can volley and the ball is allowed to bounce as in normal tennis. However, each player only has to look after their own service box quarter. Balls which land in their zone are the only ones they are responsible for retrieving. If they so wish, they can poach and intercept balls in the other players' box, but the player next to them is not going to cover their back and switch sides as in normal doubles.

The deep players rally the ball back and forth between one another. The blue receiver's partner attempts to intercept the ball down the middle. Once the ball has been intercepted the point is live. The players rotate clockwise round the court after 6-8 rallies so that each player gets to play in each position.

Set up cones coach side on an angle, near the transverse line and doubles alley. Player stands on the deuce side. Coach feeds the balls to the middle of the court. Player executes backhand slice angle cross-court aiming for the cones.

-Players start in regular doubles positions. -The service is hit down the centre and the return diagonally. -Servers are given up to 4 attempts to get the ball in. -The net player attempts to intercept the return and kill it down the middle.

Players work in groups of 4 volleying one ball between 4. Players down 1 end start by always hitting cross court, the pair down the other end hitting down the line. Players continue in this way until "change" is called by the coach, and the pattern resumes with all players trying to keep the rally going as this occurs. Courts compete between themselves looking for the longest rallies or alternatively, players can compete amongst the groups of 4 by counting errors, so that the player with the least amount of errors at the end of the drill wins!

Cones mark the doubles cross-court zone and the coach then feeds balls to the deuce side. The player hits forehand cross-court and tries to make the ball in between cones and the doubles sideline.

The player stands close to the net on the deuce side. The coach feeds diagonal ball to the ad side. The player then sprints across the centre and hits a backhand stop volley cross-court.

4 players 2 at the net and 2 at the baseline. Coach feeds the ball in to the baseliners and the point is played out. The volleyers can hit anywhere, however the baseliners cannot hit to the same volleyer twice in a row. After 2 volleys the baseliners are then allowed to lob. The winner is the first team to 11 points, after this the teams swap over.
