Live Ball Tennis
Is a doubles format with up to 6 players on a court. To displace the champions, the other two players need to win four points. In order to maintain their reign, champions just need to win two. A clean-winner off the feed would result in an instant dethroning of the champions. The first ball is fed by the coach so no time is wasted in-between points. With the ball being fed continually, it forces the players to be constantly on the move. The coach specifies the type of shot off the feed i.e. forehand crosscourt from the deuce court, backhand crosscourt from the ad court, inside-out forehand from the ad court, and so on and so forth. The fast pace of Live Ball forces players to anticipate the direction and type of shot for the first ball, allowing them to develop control.
