Instructors or parent-coaches toss a foam, low-compression or large rubber ball to the child and count how many the child can get over the net before missing three. Call "bounce, hit" for those children who need help with timing. If the child gets five, move him or her back one step from the net. Do forehand and backhand groundstrokes and volleys separately.
