Racquet relay

Duration: 15 minutes

Equipment: Cones, 1 racquet per team, 1 ball per team, rebound wall

How to play: Players start off in relay groups behind a starting line. Players balance a ball on a racquet, while weaving in and out of obstacles. When the hitting line is reached, the player uses the racquet to hit the wall twice before returning with the ball balanced on the bat. (Play with 4 or more.)

• If a player drops the ball, they pick it up and continue.

• On return, players must cross the starting line and tag the next player.
