The players face each other like in a tennis match. A line, a net or a long bench (wide side down) serves as a boundary in the centre of the court. The playing area is defined by markings or by mutual agreement (e.g. badminton markings). The game is played according to the rules of tennis, starting from the bottom behind the baseline. A game lasts 5 to 10 minutes, after which the players switch clockwise.
This game organisation enables movement-intensive lessons with a focus on promoting playing skills in heterogeneous classes.
Variants:
- The rules are determined by mutual agreement between the opponents. Each pairing can set different rules for their game.
- Different "nets" are set up (Swedish box, long bench, badminton net, rope, etc.).
- Doubles are played.
- Different balls are used (smolball, tennis ball, table tennis ball).
- After the pass, turn around your own body axis and reorient yourself.
- The game form can also be used as a form of practice for passing (forehand / backhand; long / short passes; receiving the ball, etc.)
