Tennis COACHING MADE EASY

- Coach feeds the ball short. - Player has to hit an approach shot and then play a rally.

-The players only use the service box and play without rackets. -Start with an over-arm throw from behind the service line (as if serving) and play out a rally with normal tennis rules. -When the player catches the ball they can only hold it for 1 second. When the player has the ball they cannot move there feet! -If the ball bounces they must use under-arm throws. If they catch it before bouncing, they can throw over-arm (as if volleying before bounce!) -First player to 7 points wins, as in the tie-break.

-Players hit one shot each and if they return it into court they return to the back of the queue, if they make a mistake they become a ghost. -Ghosts must go to the same end as the feeder. If they catch a ball before it bounces they come back to life again (swapping with the person who hit that ball). -The winner is the player who is last one alive!!

Coach sets up a target (basket). Players compete with each other while trying to throw the ball inside the basket.

Rally with the coach in a round robin system. Players hit one shot and then run to the back of the queue. For variation use one racquet. After each shot players must pass the racquet on to the next player.

Players hit one ball before running round the court to the other end. Each player gets 3 lives and loses one if they make a mistake, or fail to get into position on time. Alternatively players can collect letters for each mistake they make until they spell a work (like donkey). The winner is the one left standing. The coach can state at any time for the players to change direction in the way they are running around the court, even mid rally!
