Set up cones: 2 big steps in from the baseline and one from the sideline.
2 players rally crosscourt on each court (first forehand then backhand), aiming to hit the cones.
If you have one court and a group of Players then get Players to hit one shot and then have the next Player run in to return the next shot. Rotate in this way continuously.
Rules:
The first person to hit the cone gets to set a forfeit to the rest of the group.
