on court
Dink to 25
2 players · 10 min
Setup
- Both at the kitchen line, cross-court from each other: one on the right, one on the left, so the ball travels over the middle of the net.
- Rally only into the cross-court half of the court. A ball into the other half counts as a miss.
How it works
- Dink back and forth, counting each hit out loud, together.
- Any ball that pops up above the net, lands outside the kitchen, or goes into the net: back to zero.
- Get to 25 together. You’re a team in this one, not opponents.
Turn the dial
Easier: count to 10, and let a ball that lands just outside the kitchen still count.
Harder: once 25 is easy, only dinks that land in the back half of the kitchen count. Short dinks are easy to attack.
