Around the World 🔁 Tennis Titans and Tennis Troopers

Divide players into two teams, each lining up behind opposite baselines.

• One player from each line steps in to hit the ball, then runs around the outside of the court to the end of the opposite line.

• Continue the rally in this “round-the-world” pattern.

• If a player misses or hits out, they’re eliminated.

• When two players remain, they play a final rally to determine the winner.

• Emphasizes movement, timing, and rally pressure.

• Optional: give each player 2 lives before they’re out.

 🟢 Easier Variants:

• Players rally with coach and rotate on same side (better for smaller groups)

• Players may tap or control the ball on their racket before hitting it over.

• Allow unlimited bounces before hitting for beginners.

• Use larger balls (e.g. foam ball/football) to slow the game down.

• Give the children three lives

• Encourage cooperative goals (e.g. “Let’s make it 10 hits as a team before anyone is out”).

• Allow players to catch and drop-hit the ball if needed.
