All players have a tennis ball except one who will have a basketball. Players must move around the defined area by using the abc's (air, bounce, catch). The player with the basketball must chase the others whilst dribbling the basketball. If someone gets tagged by the tagger then they swap roles.

Modifications

Add in more or less taggers. Allow for more or less bounces before the catch.

Each student has a racquet and a ball in a defined playing area. Remind students to have a flat racquet to ensure the ball bounces straight and not off to the side. Students will practice a set of different racquet skills such as the following; hitting the ball up and down on the racquet. Bouncing the ball on the ground. Racing track (moving the ball around the edge of the racquet). A,B,C - air, bounce, catch. (In place of catch is hit when using a racquet.) Domino's (students stand in a circle and roll the ball onto the next person's racquet.

Modifications

Get the students to count how many they can get in a row and then try and beat that score each time. Get students to come up with some skills of their own to practice.

Special Needs Modifications

Use an orange circle tennis ball as they will bounce slower. The use of a balloon can also be good for hitting up in the air as it is slow moving.
