Here’s a fun game for large groups that focuses on consistency early in the point.
1. Start by dividing your players into two teams of four.
2. Each player on a team is assigned a number between 1 and 4.
3. Start with a courtesy feed or a serve and players hit and play one shot in order of their number and then rotate to the back of the line.
4. No winners can be hit on the first four shots and then the point is played out.

6. If someone makes a mistake before the completed four ball rally the other team receives a point and a new sequence is started with the next player in order trying for consistency on the first four shots.
