Players get into pairs. Each pair takes on another pair in a cross court competition. Players take it in turns to hit the ball deep into the coned area.
Every time a ball is hit short the receiving player can hit a winner down the line to score a point.
The players who hit the short ball can try to recover and return the down the line winner. If they manage to return the shot they do not lose a point.
Next rally starts again.
Increase or decrease the coned area depending on your players' ability.
