Two players stand opposite each other on either side of the net and try to fulfil various tasks in which hitting a newspaper plays a central role (note: if the game is played in the field and the weather is windy, this type of exercise is less suitable):
- Exercise to improve technique: try to hit a newspaper placed in the middle of the court (forehand/backhand). Both players are predominantly on the baseline.
- Exercise form to improve technique: newspaper placed in the centre of the court, try to hit it by playing at the net (volley). One player at the net (volley), the other plays the balls to (forehand/backhand).
- Technique training combined with competition form: newspaper placed in the centre of the court, try to hit (forehand/backhand). With each hit, the newspaper is cut in half. Which participant has the most folded newspaper after a certain time?
- Technical training combined with competition form: try to hit a newspaper placed on a certain line (forehand/backhand). With each hit, the newspaper is moved back one line. Which participant on each side of the court has moved their newspaper furthest away from the net after a certain time?
