Examples of Fun Tennis Drills

By Bill Sutton


Tennis camps undoubtedly are a little different than other tennis clinics or tennis instruction. A main goal of the camp counselors is to discover fun tennis drills that are entertaining. Tennis teachers need to make sure that youngsters have a great experience during tennis camps. Tennis instructors frequently have a problem discovering new thrilling and fun tennis drills. Here I will discuss some examples of very good tennis drills that are engaging and entertaining.

The first drill is known as "Around the World". Participants separate into two even teams to side A and B. Each team makes 1 line behind their baseline. The teacher feeds the ball in to the first player in line on side B, who hits the ball over then moves around the court to the end of the line on side A. The first person in each line hits 1 ball only and runs around the same way. After a player hits a fault, he's out of the game (he can collect balls). The final player standing is the winner. This may be a great tennis drill for advanced beginner children.

The second fun tennis drill is known as "Fill the Court". Players divide once more into 2 even groups to side A and B. Each one team creates a single line behind their baseline. The trainer feeds the ball in from the net post, and the first players in each line play out the point with one another on the singles court. The losing person goes out and to the end of the line. The succeeding competitor continues and calls in the next person in line to aid him succeed the next point. If they win once again, they can get a 3rd participant and so forth. The team that can bring all its competitors into play wins the game. If a group loses a point, they return back to one player. This may be a great game when one court has a lot of players.

The last game is called "Jabba the Hut". Just six participants are needed to do this drill with 3 player teams on either side. One single player in each team kneels down at the T on their side. The other participants are at the baseline. The instructor feeds the ball from the net post to one of the baseline players. The two teams play out the rally with one another for 1 point each. If within the rally either of the two kneeling players return the ball over and goes in, their team automatically earns three points even if they lose the point ultimately. The very first team to 21 points is the winner. This can be a hugely popular tennis game.

Tennis teachers have to make sure they keep their camps up to date with newer fun tennis drills. If the kids are having fun, they will be back again for the following camps.
