Jail break is a game where the players stand on the side of the net where the jail and safe zone is lined up along the net with a racket. The coaches/teachers will then toss a ball for the players to hit back into the court on the coaches side. If they successfully play the ball back into the inbounds line they are âsafeâ from jail. If a player fails to hit the ball inbounds or over the net they are sent to âjailâ to be freed from jail another player needs to hit the ball inbounds successfully if they do this is called âjailbreakâ once the player hits it inbounds they run over to the jail and steps on it to unlock the jail. Once they do this both players have to run to the safe zone as fast as the can because at the same time there running the teachers will be throwing tennis balls at them and if it hits them they have to go back to jail. If everybody ends up in jail the game is over.
