This is always a favorite game for the players. Coach feeds alternating sides and the kids play the point out. If they miss, they go out and the next in line takes their spot. Stay in until you miss. Scoring is as follows: 2 points for winning a point w/o winner 5 points for baseline winner 10 points for volley winner 25 points for overhead winner First team to reach 105 points wins
Great game to emphasize getting to the net and being aggressive with volleys (and hopefully overheads).

Indoor courts give players less time and less room. Help them sharpen their split step, shorten their swing and stay calm, and winter becomes a season of real progress.
A tiebreak is a short sprint where every point is worth the same as a break of serve. The players who win them are rarely the ones who hit hardest. Here is how to coach the patterns, habits and scoreboard thinking that win the big points.
Most club players practise the serve on its own and then have no idea what to do with the ball that comes back. Serve plus one is the pattern that turns a good serve into a won point.
