Tennis games

Two tennis balls are played simultaneously on each half of the court starting with a drop hit.

Once one player loses a point on his or her side of the court, they call out “One ball live!” and the single remaining ball is played out among the four players with the court no longer split down the middle.

This game is designed for use in practicing groundstrokes, the forehand and backhand, at first and then doubles strategy once "One ball live" is called.

This version is designed to work on consistency in the players ground strokes.

One player from the serving team starts the game and plays the point according to existing and traditional rules and etiquette of tennis.

One person, designated as the “king” or “queen,” goes to the opposite side of the court.

This game is designed to give each player practice at all the doubles positions.

Once finished, the first four players rotate in a clockwise direction to the end of the next line.

This game is designed to give each player practice at all the doubles positions.

One team of two players is designated as the “kings” or “queens” and goes to one side of the court.

A doubles team is designated the rulers and begins on the baseline on the opposite side of the court.

The other doubles teams are the challengers and take turns on the opposite side of the court with a goal to win 3 points in a row to replace the current rulers.

The first point begins with the feeder feeding a short ball to the challengers allowing them to proceed to the net and an offensive.

The feeder will randomly designate one player on the challengers team to receive an overhead (a short lob allowing the player to hit a powerful shot similar to a serve from the net), or a volley.

This game was designed to train and encourage aggressiveness and a goal in doubles to move to the net to finish the point.

A ball is fed by a coach or player that is sitting out and the point is played using the doubles court.

This game is played in triples formation (a triangle with two players behind the baseline and the third in the team at the net).

A point is begun by feeding the ball to one of the baseline players on either team.

The other players wait at the side of the net post in pairs ready to replace the challengers.

This game is designed to practice running down a lob and getting back into the point.

This game is also designed to promote net play and aggressiveness, and shot placement.

One player from each team steps up and a singles point is played out starting with a drop hit.

This next point is played one vs. two with the team with only one person on the court starting the ball.

If the team with two people on the court wins, they add another player and play one vs. three.

Either player feeds the ball and runs to the end of the line on the other side of the court.

The person that receives the feed hits the ball and also runs to the end of the line on the other side of the court.

Once the game is down to two people, instead of running to the other side, the person has to hit the ball, drop their racquet, spin around, and continue the point.

This game is designed to practice hitting that first shot of each point without first being in a rhythm.

When the game begins, the 4 players on the court rally the ball back and forth with freedom of mobility and aggressiveness.

When only 4 players remain in the game (no substitutes) a mistake is penalized with the player running back and touching the wall behind the baseline while a ball is put into play in the opposite side allowing the other duo to hit a winner.
