QuickStart Tennis - Ages 9 & 10: Champs and Chumps

Celebrate Tennis Month in May with the USTA by getting your children involved with the lifetime sport.

Today, we highlight a rallying game called "Champs and Chumps."

A minimum of four players is needed for this game. One group is on one end of the court behind the baseline and the other group is behind the other baseline. One side of the court is designated as the Champs side, while the other is called the Chumps side. The first player from each side plays a point, using the singles boundaries. The player that wins the point goes to the end of the Champs line while the loser goes to the end of the Chumps line. The other players rotate through their line in order. Players on the Chumps side always begin the point with a serve (getting two faults to get the serve in play).

The shot at 0:54 is not just a "Ouh, great shot!", it's fantastic!
