Tennis: Blackout!

The coach feeds the ball to team A, they then have to hit it into the target area cross court.
-Player from team B hits down the line if possible, however if under pressure from the depth or pace of the shot,then player B should play cross court or down the middle.
Team A are hitting mostly cross court.

2 teams two balls

Players play a half court rally until one makes a mistake for the first point. The second ball then becomes live and should be played out by all 4 players for the second point.

The court is marked out with cones into areas (e.g. red, amber and green). Players try to anticipate which area the ball is going to land in so that they can respond with the most appropriate tactical return.

A buddie coach stands behind the player and tells them which shot they should play (ie. approach the net, lob etc.) depending on the area that they are hitting from i.e. where they are standing/ running on court as they hit the ball.

Players will need to watch the body shape of the coach and the ball contact carefully to anticipate what type of shot is being hit and therefore where it is likely to land.

Players work in groups of 3.

Players 1 and 2 rally for 1 minute after which player 2 steps aside and allows player 3 to tale their place.

Players 1 and 3 rally for 1 minute, during which time player 2 walks to the other side of the net, ready to take over from player 1 after the 1 minute is up.

Player 2 and 3 now rally for 1 minute.
