Developing the Baseline Game by working “2 vs 1”.

“The Trio Game”:

Players: there is always 2 players competing against 1 player. The player that plays Solo can hit to the doubles alleys; the 2 opponents can not – they can only hit to the singles court. The idea of the game is to maintain the Solo position.
Initial Positions: there is 1 player competing and 2 players waiting at the back fence on one side; and 2 players competing and 1 player waiting at the back fence on the other side.
Start of the Game: The coach feeds the ball to any one of the players.
Change of Positions: If the player that is Solo wins the point – he/she keeps the position. One of the opponents that missed gets out and another player gets in as a substitute. If the player that is Solo loses the point – the opponent player that won the point exchanges positions with the Solo player that made the mistake. While the exchange of positions happens – the next “Trio” gets in to play.
SCORING: 3 different matches are played at 7 or 11 points. The player with the best score playing SOLO is the winner.

Variants; the couple can only hit with forehand, backhand, sliced backhand, if it bounces in the serve box, you have to go up to the net, if it bounces in the serve box, it is OUT…
