Purpose

To reinforce the principles of a proper serve technique and of serving it inside the court

Setup

  • Divide your players into groups of 3-4
  • Give each group 2-3 balls
  • Two groups will start, one at each service line

Execution

  1. On the whistle, each team serves – multiple players can serve at the same time.
  2. Make sure that each team has the same number of balls.
  3. The first team to complete 10 good serves that land on the other side of the court wins.
  4. The losing team rotates off and a new team comes on.
  5. The first team to stay and win 10 points is the king of the court and should be rewarded.

Coaching Tips

  • This can become a fast paced game as players try to serve as fast as possible, make sure that they still use proper technique as
    they are under pressure and going full speed.
  • With repetition, this helps reinforce the proper serving techniques and the importance of getting the serve in.
