- 2 teams of 2 players play against each other.
- Everything is allowed in terms of technique. This is easily adapted to volleyball, where after 3x games the ball may be played into a hoop.
- After that it is the other team's turn.
- It is a 360 degree field, so through the hoop the ball may go in any direction.
- Always play the game 2 against 2.
- Vary the level of difficulty for the players. For example: catch 1x for C youth, do not smash, and so on.
Play in pairs from approx. 3m line to 7m line.
Net player always plays up 1x for himself, then back again.
Back player plays back in 1x and then does for himself successively:
- 5x Turn around on own spot.
- 5x To the back line, tap with 1 hand and return to 7m.

Rules:
- Start with simple underhand service
- We play underhand tennis, so in 1x over the net.
- Difficult ball may bounce 1x, but then the ball must be returned with: one hand, one foot or the head.
If a mistake is made, the player leaves the court, goes to the back line, and a new player takes over.
Tap game with 1 ticker. The rest must try to catch the stretch bands and eventually the tennis ball along two sides of the square.
- If the ticker ticks you, you must put the stretching band back and try again.
- The game can be made more difficult by, for example, enlarging the square or removing those who are tapped from the game.
- 3 pawns in a row.
- Groups of two players.
- Goal is to move the ball further per pawn.
- On pawn 1 there is a ball.
- Player 1 brings the ball from the back line back to the base and gives it to player 2.
- The latter then runs with ball to pawn 2 and puts the ball there and runs back to the base.
- Player 1 then rushes to the 2nd pawn to pick up the ball there and pass it to player 2 who then takes the ball to the 3rd pawn.
- Then back from pion 3 to pion 2, to pion 1.
Warm up exercise in relay form
- Divide the players into groups of 2 or 3 players and place them on the left side of the field.
- Give each player a tennis ball.
- At the start sign, the 1st player of each group starts running to the other, right, side with a ball.
- Once there, they put the ball outside the line and run back as fast as they can so that player 2 of their group can start running with his/her ball.
