Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

• In the diagram, 3 groups are set up, this could be as many as is needed. Place 2 tall cones 20yrds apart. This distance can be altered depending on the age and ability of the players. Players are split into groups or 4, 2 players on each team (i.e. 2vs2). One player from each team stands at either end by the tall cones.

Instructions

• Players chip (clip) the ball to their partners who attempt to control the ball using aerial control to bring the ball down close to the tall cone.
• The ball should be served to their partners at a good height and the players they attempt to get the ball as close to the cone on their first touch as possible.
• The ball cannot bounce in the service.The other team then does the same. The receiving players then serve the ball to their partners. In the example above:

• R1 clips (chips) the ball up to his partner R2.
• R2 attempts to control the ball without letting it bounce, as close to the cone as possible. W2 would then do the same for their partner. Switch roles each turn. Ball closest to the cone from each team gains a point.

Scoring

• Team attaining a specific target score first wins, or set a time period.
