Autumn🍂Term 26/27

Monday Team Padel Tennis 🎾 Club MHPS

Astro Pitch 

WHAT IS IT? - A 3v3 game on a mini court that combines elements from Padel & Tennis but promotes team work rather than just individual skill.

HOW TO PLAY? - 2 Baseline players and 1 Net/Volley player in each half court, serves are friendly from the baseline, Net/Volley player cannot return directly from serve and the (Red) ball is always in play so long as it’s bouncing! Play off the back wall/fence is allowed. Players have a maximum of 2 consecutive touches and a ball controlled must be passed to a teammate. Only first time shots are allowed when returning. First to 5pts wins!

DO YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD AT TENNIS? - Not at all, children with less ability find it easier to learn the hand/eye coordination skills as the game is more forgiving (unlimited bounces) and the very technical tennis players can’t just use power to win points as the red ball is slower so angles must be found. (We have been playing this across Y5/6 PE lessons in summer term)
