Tennis Game Dodgeball
This is a fun tennis game for young players
How It Works
The coach, having a basket of kids balls (soft), is just inside the service box while, on the other side, the young players position inside one of the service boxes as well.
The coach will grab the balls one at a time and gently tap them in the direction of the young players. They will have to move only inside the respective service box to avoid getting hit by the incoming balls.
If one of the players gets hit, they will exit, and the remaining players will continue until one player remains; he/she will be considered the winner.
This is a good game for quick reaction and footwork in a fun way.
This game is part of My Daddy / My Coach, which you can find inside the How To Teach Tennis course, with the full progression and many more tips and drills.
