Doubles: Start with a feed, drop feed, or serve. Play the point out and rotate: Baseliner to net, net to back of line, next in line to baseline. As a team, first to 11 by 2 wins. If they are serving make sure not one side serves the whole time. Switch after every full rotation, or every other point or something. Play as many times as necessary. You can switch up teams or switch sides and play again.
Singles: Two to a team. If there's 6, one team waits at the net, if there's only four, play and then switch sides or teams. I will explain for 6. First players step up and play a singles point. Winner stays, loser rotates with their partner. If one player wins three in a row, she rotates with her partner. First team to 6 wins that round. Losing team rotates with the team at the net. First team win 6 rounds wins (or whoever has the most round wins at the end of time).
