Around the World Mini-tennis

Player Placement on the Court
-Place half of players in a line at the T on the service line and the other half of the players will be in a line on the opposite service line.

Around the World Drill Begins
-The first player in the line will hit a groundstroke to the first player in the opposite line. Once they hit the ball the players scoots over  to the back of the opposite line counterclockwise. The rotating drill continues as the next player returns the shot with a groundstroke and runs to the back of the opposite line counterclockwise. This continues until a ball is mis-hit.

Variables on the Drill: 1)  As soon as a player mis-hits twice/loses the point, they are out and wait on the sideline. Play until there are only two players left and allow them to remain ion their own side rallying until 2 points are missed.

2) Create a team goal of X number of consecutive hits without a miss.

Even More Variety:
-Use only Volleys or Backhands.
