Tennis Game: Ping-Pong

How It Works

Players line up behind the baseline on each side of the court.

The first player in one line puts the ball in play with a “courtesy” feed.
The first player from the opposite line hits the ball over the net, and then she moves out to the end of her line; the next ball is taken by the next player in line, and so on.

The rule is that no player may hit two balls in a row. Every player will hit and move out (to the end of the line), leaving the next player to hit the next ball.

The rally continues until one team makes an error or a player hits two balls in a row. That’s when the opposing team receives 1 point. Play continues until one side wins… 7 points.

Teams can switch sides after one game.
