This exercise requires both quick movement and quick hands. We are suggesting tennis racquets in this exercise but a baseball bat or anything with a fairly flat end will work just as easily. Just make sure the object will not quite stand up on its own. (Note: If you choose to use a tennis racquet, place it on the ground with the handle side pointing straight up.)
Players are set up in pairs, each holding their own racquet with the handle pointing up. On cue they both release their racquets and switch places, trying to catch their partner’s racquet before it falls to the ground. Like many other games, this exercise can easily be adapted to challenge older children by simply starting them further apart from one another. For extra fun, create some competition with several pairs of players competing at the same time.
Like all the drills in this section, this game helps build the agility skills needed for tennis, baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and many other activities.
