Keep the Rally Going

The game is played in pairs

Each pair needs a small court to play on 5-6 steps length & 5-4 steps width, 1 tennis ball between them and 1 tennis racket each. The aim is for the pairs to keep a rally going for as long as possible hitting the ball back and forth over the net/divide

The ball is allowed to bounce before it is returned. Challenge the children to beat their longest rally. After 5 minutes ask students to pair up with someone new.

Students need to focus on : 

• Cooperate with your partner

• Make the shot easy for your partner to return

•  Move into position quickly

• Count the number of shots in a rally

• Watch the ball
