Place three racquets equidistant between the relay team and the net – one racquet on the baseline, one on the service line and one at the net. (For safety, point the racquet handles toward the net.) Place two balls for each child and parent-coach on the racquet at the baseline. Runners take a ball from the racquet at the baseline and run to place it on the first racquet. They return to the baseline to pick up another ball, bring it to the racquet at the net and return to tag the next person in line. The relay can be run in reverse to return all the balls to the baseline.
- Another racquet for each line and one ball for each person in line may be added for a longer race.
