Community | Tap Down, Tap Up Relay

Michelle Johnston Coach, United States of America

DESCRIPTION

Cooperative drill to develop a variety of skills in young players. Start by dividing your players into groups with each group starting at opposite net points. Each player in one line will have a ball. The first player in line with a ball will start “ Tap down “ as they walk along the outside of the court to the court to the baseline and then to the slash mark. At the same time a player in the other line starts to “ Shuffle “ along the outside of the court going to the opposite baseline. The player with the ball then bounces and hits it over the net to the other player who stops the ball against their racket. Both players then run to the opposite line they started in and two new players start the sequence. Safety: Ensure players are well spread out.
