-Objective:

Be the first team to score 25 points

• One huge (5 or 6 foot) D-Lite ball

• One tennis net

-Equipment Link:

• Two teams of two-four players line up on either side of a net on a tennis court.

• Players position themselves in a scattered formation.

• One player in the back middle of the court holds the D-Lite ball.

• The back line of the court is the service line.

• The player with the ball hits the ball towards the net--other players can also hit it before it crosses over the net.

• Each side can contact the ball as many times as they need before the ball goes over the net.

• No player may strike the ball two times in a row.

• If the ball hits the floor the other team scores a point and gets the service.

• If the ball lands outsider the court that side scores a point and gets the service--or maybe keep walls in play.

• Questions for understanding

• Offensively, what are the best tactics to make it difficult for the defense to return the ball?

• Defensively, what are the best tactics to be able to receive the ball most effectively?
