Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes
Focus: External
Purpose: Cardio

***Explicit Language***

Pre-teach the tennis match they will be playing in the end. The fifth move. Tell them they are all tennis players in this song and that we are about to play the Olympic finals! Inform them that by the end of the song, you will separate them into two teams facing each other! They are going to alternate smashing the ball, as if they were actually playing tennis. You as the facilitator will be the judge and point at who is smashing when. “Now please show me your rackets and let’s warm up for the game!” Start the music.

First move: OTS Stretch. Pretending to warm up for the game!
Second move: Sideways shuffle & walk 4. On the shuffles, it’s like you are preparing for the ball to come your way as if preparing for a serve from the other team. Look at the others as if they were your opponents. Try walking in different directions every time

Third move: OTS smash 3 + bounce and crazy smashing. Stay on the spot and smash 3 balls and the bounce – This repeats 4 times! Then you pretend balls are coming from everywhere and you go crazy with smashing and hitting all of them!

Fourth move: Walk 4 & smash 2. “Try hitting the balls both high, low and to the sides! “
Fifth move: Two teams match alternate smashing. Separate them into two teams facing each other! Tell them they are going to alternate smashing the ball as if they were actually playing tennis. You as the facilitator will be the judge and point at who is smashing! Get ready!!! Point at each team alternating, like they smash an imaginary ball across a net in between them! Keep going until the end of the song!
