Organization:

  • Organize Head Tennis courts as shown in the graphic above.
  • Consider joining up with another team who practice at the same time.
  • Select teams of 3 players.
  • Don't worry if there is an odd number (can have a team of two or four).
  • Try to ensure even numbers of teams so no one is waiting.
  • Play five minute games.
  • Teams work on a Round-Robin format.
  • See Head Tennis to establish the rules and scoring method.
  • At the end of the tournament consider (if time allows) having some sprint relays (see Relays).

Teaching:

  • As this is an end of session "free" play time, the coach merely organizes the tournament and lets the players play.
