Players are permitted to go anwhere. No deliberate contact with other players. Players try to score by rolling the ball through the goals. Passes must be below knee height, otherwise the ball is turned over and given to the opposition as a 'free hit'. Progression: Add a second tennis ball Change tennis ball to a larger ball Add in a scoring 'D' Turn the goals around and allow players to go behind goals Change placement of goals to one on each sideline Conditions to Consider: Time limit for when the ball is in hand Adding in a team shot clock Only using one hand to pick up and pass the ball (link in forehand and backhand)
