Grade Level: 3-5

Divide players into two groups with each group forming a line behind the middle of each baseline. One player is up on each side. The first player from side A drop-hits the ball over the net and moves to the back of the line. The first player on side B returns the ball and goes to the back of their line. From there, each subsequent player hits one ball and moves to the back of the line, keeping the point going until one side misses. This can be cooperative with both teams attempting to get 10 consecutive rallies.
