QuickStart Tennis - Ages 5 & 6: Alligator River

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

Today, we spotlight a game called "Alligator River."

The players line up across from each other on either side of the doubles alley, with their racquets and one ball for each pair. The coach or one of the players is the alligator and is going to walk down the river (i.e., the alley). As the coach walks down the alley, the players roll the ball to their partner, trying to hit the alligator.
