Rush the Net
- doubles play, net skills, approach.

On one side there are two players (team A-B) who are the "Champs" - on the baseline; on the other side there is another team of two players (team C-D) on the baseline. There is a substitute team (E-F), waiting for their turn. One feeder (F) on the side with teams C-D and E-F.

The feeder sends a ball to team A-B; team C-D moves up to the net. They play the point out. If team C-D loses the point, they move out and team E-F steps in to play team A-B. But, if team C-D wins the first point, they stay at the net attempting to win 3 points in a row, playing the points from the "both up" position (at the net). Winning three points in a row will give them the chance to replace team A-B.
So, if either team C-D or E-F win three points in a row they will replace team A-B. If they lose, they are out.
Note: Good tennis drill to work on transition from baseline to net and improving net skills.
