Call the Scenario

3 players

Before each serve, A calls a game situation, and B returns to the target that fits it. C plays as A's partner.

How to play
  • Three players: A serves, C stands next to A as A's partner, B returns.
  • Before each serve, A calls one of these situations, and B aims for its target.
  • "Two righties": at the inside foot of the player on the right.
  • "Stack" (A and C swap sides after the serve): to the side the moving player is running away from.
  • "Good crasher" (A rushes in fast after serving) or "just missed a third": straight back at A.
  • After each return, talk briefly: was the target hit, and did it fit? 10 rounds, then rotate.
Too easy? Too hard?

Too easy: A keeps the situation secret, for example on a card, and B has to read it from how A and C stand and move.

Too hard: Play only two situations until B hits them, then add the others.

Good looks like: B knows the target before the ball comes, and the return goes there instead of just over the net.

Good reps.Swap roles and go again.
