Game for a Wet Court

 It was a wet Friday and the folks without imagination had abandoned the courts and left for coffee.  As if coffee was going to solve the problem.

A hearty group of four stayed and imagined and played a game.  Put all four at the kitchen line and one serves cross court.  The rule being that all shots have to land in the kitchen.  Serves that landed on the kitchen base line were in.

You are allowed to volley the ball, but your volley has to land in the kitchen.  

Balls that were obviously long were stopped with paddle or hand.  No one wanted to run after them.

A lot of points developed into a cross court battle, some of them quite lengthy.

Serves and scores rotated and accumulated as in a normal game.  Note that aces and unreturnable serves were possible.

We also played it 5 handed as one of the Mikes came by.  

This was a nice way to pass the time and sharpen some of those dinking skills.  Highly recommended.
