DESCRIPTION

Worried that it's quite cold and your players haven't properly warmed up? If so why not try this game of potato race.

  1. Place three balls at the net for each player in the race. All players start on the baseline, with a racquet in hand.
  2. On the coach's whistle all players run forward and collect a ball
  3. Players then run the the edge of the service box and hit the ball into the other half of the court
  4. They then jog backwards to the basline and then repeat the exercise

The winner is the first player to have hit all 3 balls over to the other side of the court, and returned to the baseline.
