Partner Singles

by Bret Hendricks
(Allen, Texas, USA)

You have 2 players on each side, but only 1 plays at a time.

A singles point is played (serve or feed anywhere to start).

The players that are out near the back fence are ready with a ball in their hands to serve or feed anywhere.

Immediately, when one of the players misses the out person on the team who missed, goes in and feeds or serves the ball anywhere.

Keep score individually or as a team.

Variation:
You can switch when a player misses or when you have won 3 points in a row (then you score a point).


*The only time the serve start won't work is if the player has a huge or extremely accurate serve which is very rare in junior players. Then they have to feed to start the point or serve in a box like normal.
