Set up a goal using cans or cones 5 to 6 feet apart. An assistant or parent-coach is in the goal using a racquet as a goalkeeper’s stick. Have each child start 15 to 20 feet away with the ball on the court. The child moves forward and uses a racquet to roll the ball toward the goal (shoot), trying to score. Children can take turns trying to score on the coach and roles can be reversed so that the coach tries to score on the child.
- For a progression, use a beach ball, foam or rubber ball and then a tennis ball.
