Tennis: Fast Rally - Maximum Contacts

Players are working in threes with player 1 working in the whole court against players 2 and 3.

Players are rallying co-operatively but with players 2 and 3 moving player 1 around the court a little. Player 1 can hit to either side in any order.

If player 1 hits a ball that lands long they get 2 points, beyond the service line but before the longline they get 1 point, in the service box they get no points.

Should they miss a ball long or wide they get minus 1 point, and in the net minus 2 points.

Players 2 and 3 must count out loud, and player 1 is trying to get to 25 points as quickly as possible. The length of time it takes is timed and players can compete within themselves in the 3 or combined against other courts if the group is larger.

Players feed the ball in from hand and rally up and down the middle of the court.

At any time, player 1 can choose to hit a shot that will bring player 2 forward to the net. This shot must be hit inside the service box and can be a short slice or dropshot.

The point is then live from the next ball. Players play first to 7 before switching roles.

Player 1 - is working on change of direction on forehand. 2 forehands cross court, 1 forehand down the line

Player 2 - feeding - can work on lateral movement and consistency, 2 cross court forehands and 1 back hand line.

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.
