Piglet Tennis

This is the first exercise you should do to teach the piglet how to hit a bouncing ball. It is important you simply let the ball drop as straight as possible as that will make it much easier to hit

Instructions:

• Place a cone about a metre away from the net and have the hitter stand behind it

• When you clap, the hitter should do a little jump and then get ready to swing

• Gently drop the ball in front of you

• The hitter attempts to hit the ball over the net after at least one bounce (more than one is fine!)

• You can help the hitter out by gently guiding the racket with your hand so they get used to the movement
