DESCRIPTION

A fun cool down game for younger children.

  1. A snake ( bag, pool noodle, or any other teaching material) is asleep at the net.
  2.  The players are at the service line with buckets of balls.
  3.  The coach lets the players know that the snake is asleep and asks the players if we can help wake up the snake.
  4.  The players attempt to roll the ball towards the snake to wake it up.
  5. If a ball hits the snake, then the coach chases the players and tries to tag them before they reach their home ( the back fence).
  6. If a coach tags a player that player becomes the new snake.

Progression:

  1. Use the racquet to roll the ball towards the snake with a forehand stroke movement.

Tips:

  1. Keep the rolls on the ground.
  2. Do not bounce the ball.

Safety:

  1. When using the racquet, make sure the players are well spread out.
