Soccer Tennis and how it helps your performance

What is it?

Soccer tennis is the all around combination of Soccer, and a mix of volleyball/tennis. The ideal of the game is to get the soccer ball in your opponents side in 3 our less touches. To break it down, it's basically just Volleyball without hands on a tennis court.

How does it help you?

You can play 1v1 but the game is generally played 3v3. You start the game in the service box on either side of the net. The best way to benefit from this game is to play in a smaller court as it helps improve your touch and helps avoid running a lot.

How do you start the game?

The game starts when a member of the serving team either volley kicks the ball, or drop kicks it into the opposing teams side. If the ball goes out of bounds on the serve, the serve is lost. If the ball hits the net though, you may retake the serve. The game continues if the receiving team returns the ball on their first, second, or third touch (each player may only get one touch) but only after the ball has bounced. After the ball is returned it may only bounce on the floor one time after crossing the net. The ball may remain in play even if over the out line as long as it is still in the air and may still be played as long as it still passes directly over the net.

How do you win?

A point is awarded to a team when the ball bounces twice on the team who contains the balls side. Games can go up to 11-15 points and 2 out of 3 games can determine the winner.
