Children form a line along the net or baseline from sideline to sideline. They are all proclaimed dragons and their goal is to use their racquets to stay out of the dungeon. The coach tosses a ball to the first person in line. If the ball is returned successfully with a volley (or any stroke the group is working on), the child remains in that position and the coach moves to the next player in line. If the child misses the shot, she goes to the end of the dungeon –- the end of the line. The coach tosses the same number of balls to everyone in line, usually one to three.
