Tennis drills

- Bulls eye if successful.
The children spread out across the tennis court.
- When the trainer says start the children begin walking/running/etc. through the court.
- When the trainer says a "stop" word, the children look for a hat as quickly as possible.
- While the children are running around, the trainer can also call another variation of movement such as hopping, stepping sideways, etc.
- At each round, remove a hat so that someone goes off.
- The one who is off does 5 jumping jacks and then join in again.
- A backhand is indicated.
