Tennis: Be ready for anything!

Player 1 is feeding from the service box and player 2 starts on the baseline T in the ready position.

Player 1 rolls tennis balls along the ground, in a random pattern, one after the other and player 2 must move to each ball, stop it with their hand before it goes outside the singles tramlines or baseline.

After stopping the ball player 2 should roll it back to player 1 who can then roll the next ball.

Both players side step along the tramlines throwing the ball (underarm)to each other until they reach the net and then return to the baseline doing the same thing. Catching the ball after one bounce is a good start.

Player 1 is feeding and can start halfway between the service line and the net with arms outstretched at shoulder height.

Player 2 is working, starting in the ready position on the baseline, but remaining active on the spot.

Player 1 must drop either of the 2 balls they have outstretched in their hands. As soon as player 2 sees this they must sprint forwards and try to get to the ball after 1 bounce.

They then throw the ball back to player 1 and shuffle their feet moving backwards in a relaxed way to get into the start position for the next feed.

The red players are facing away from the blue players with their legs astride on the inside tramline. The blue players then underarm throw the balls either over the red players heads or thru their legs. The red players have to react as quickly as possible. The red players have to try and stop the ball before it reaches the center line.
