Run the lines

Pupils line up at the baseline and doubles sideline to walk and then jog the lines. The pattern is as follows:

  • forward along the doubles sideline to the net,
  • sidestep across to the singles sideline,
  • backward along the singles sideline to the service line,
  • sidestep across the service line almost to the T,
  • up the center service line to the net,
  • sidestep to just across the center service line,
  • backward along the center service line to the service line,
  • sidestep to the singles sideline,
  • up to the net,
  • sidestep to the doubles sideline,
  • backward along the doubles sideline, and
  • sidestep across to the center hash mark
