Rally Sooner
When we start children to learn how to rally, we start with modifications of tennis. We make it look like they are playing tennis. How do we do this? One way is that we have the students toss and catch a ball over a line. Once they have developed the skill to do that we have one student use a cone to catch a ball in and the other student tosses the ball. Once they have mastered this skill, both students get to use a cone to catch the ball in. This helps the student to get used to playing with a manipulative in their hand such as a racket. I have posted a video that gives this concept of progressing the rally to help student's learn to play faster. Hope you enjoy!
