After coach call players 1 ,2 have to sprint to the middle of net, touch it with racquet and back paddle to baseline. Whoever comes second starts with defensive ball fed by the coach and the point is played out. The winner scores the point but has to immediately run and touch the middle of service line as the next point will start immediately. Loser gets off to end of line at net post.

Whoever start as a "champ" is not allowed to hit volley of first ball. If wins the point stays on court to compete against another player. Player gets to keep his score if beaten. First to 7 points.
