Carnival Station 3: Transition Resets Race to 20
8 min Partner Paddle, balls
Setup
One player is the feeder at the kitchen line. The other player stands in the transition zone (mid-court).
Drill Instructions
The feeder sends one ball at a time, or plays a continuous rally, at the transition player.
Every ball the transition player resets into the kitchen = 1 point. On a miss, the transition player keeps their score and the roles switch.
First player to 20 resets wins.
Goal
Score = your reset total when the station ends. Log it as "20 resets" or your point total.
Make It Easier
Feeder sends slower, higher feeds.
Coach Tip
Split-step, soft hands, paddle out front. Absorb the pace — you are catching the ball, not hitting it.
Make It Harder
Feeder drives the ball at pace and mixes in at-the-feet balls.
