Game details:
Win conditions: survive 5 minutes
You start with 5 lives.
Format 1 v 1
One end has yellow lines 3ft from the singles line both sides making the court have a smaller width on one end. The other end is a normal singles court.
The player who is down the end with the lines is the one feeding throughout the 5 minutes and trying to stop the player down the far end surviving 5 mins.
Feeding conditions:
1. medium feed to FH side wide to start point.
2. Second feed to Bh side the receiving player has to move around for a FH to begin point.
Netplay is allowed in the game, through an approach shot activating the net play it completely opens up the court.
How to lose lives:
1. any mistake loses a life
2. If the feeder can hit a clean winner that’s 2 lives gone instead of one
How to gain lives:
1. The feeding end produces an unforced error that’s a life-given back.
2. The player trying to survive the 5 minutes can only hold a maximum of 5 lives.
Considerations for changes to the game:
◦ Feeding can alter what you want out of the first ball.
◦ Limit how many times a player can come to the net
◦ Format can be 2 v 1 you would take out the lines and have the 2 feeding with only the singles court (no trams).
