Live Ball is a fast paced fun pro fed King/Queen of the court game!
Two players on the baseline and the two players on the opposite side at kitchen are K&Q. 1-2 players off waiting.
The pro feeds a ball from beside the net to the challengers at the baseline and the point is played out. If the challengers lose the point, they quickly move off the court and the players off the court get into position as the pro immediately feeds the next ball. If the challengers win the point, another ball is fed immediately.
If challengers win 3 pts in a row, they become king and queen.
After a few rounds partners rotate.Very fast past. Rotations and feeds are quick.
Great workout. while pros provide quick on the fly pointers.
