How to Play
Set up a playing area using a lowered net (mini-tennis net is OK, or even a gym bench) with enough space either side for 5 players.
Split a team of 10 players into 2 groups of 5 on opposing sides of the lowered net or bench.
Group 1 forms a line and takes it in turn to do a backhand serve over the net.
Group 2 spreads out on the opposing side of the net and tries to catch the shuttle with with their hands.
Teams are timed for 60 seconds, before swapping sides. A total score should be added together i.e if group 1 gets 8 catches and group 2 get 11 catches, your team score = 19
Set a 60 second timer using a stopwatch or phone.
