Lob Game

Description

-The game has two teams of four players each.-Each team consists of two lobbers and two smashers.The smashers must stand in their respective service courts.-Points are scored every time a lob falls between the base line and the service line.The baseliners must hit the ball after one bounce. Points are lost as in normal tennis.-First team to 5 wins.-The baseliners and the smashers swop over for the next game.

Coaching Points

Smashing players need to point at the ball with non-playing hand to achieve better balance and tracking of the ball.Players need to move quickly and get behind the ball in order to transfer their body weight forward when hitting.Coach should check that players take the racket back and up (without dropping the racket head) when preparing for the smash.More advanced players can practise top spin lobbing.
