Tennis: Lob and Smash

Set up pressure situation in this fun conditioned games session and get your players working hard on their technique, without them even realising it!

Players 1, 2 and 3 feed a ball underarm high over the net to 4, 5 and 6. Players 4, 5 and 6 must try and catch the balls above their heads with one hand if possible. If not with both hands. After six turns they change around.

One player starts on the base line with the other players at the net.

The point starts with the player on the base line hitting a lob over the player who is stood at the net.

The net player must recover by running around the ball and play the ball back into the opposition's side of the court.

Point is now live.

-The game has two teams of four players each.
-Each team consists of two lobbers and two smashers.The smashers must stand in their respective service courts.
-Points are scored every time a lob falls between the base line and the service line.The baseliners must hit the ball after one bounce. Points are lost as in normal tennis.
-First team to 5 wins.
-The baseliners and the smashers swop over for the next game.

-Start off by placing a hoop in between the service line and the net(as shown in the picture).
-Players 1 and 2 are playing out the point whilst player 3 is trying intercept the ball that player 2 is hitting.
-The person at the net has to have at least one foot in the hoop at any one time.
-The player on their own has to avoid the person at the net by hitting all the balls wide or lobbed. If the point is won by a volley extra points are awarded.
