“Cone Hunt” is a fun, engaging target-based drill designed for red stage players. It is played on a mini court using a low net or within the service boxes and works perfectly with groups of three to five players. The main focus is on directing forehands and backhands toward different cones and targets, each assigned specific point values. This creates a playful competitive environment that keeps players highly motivated.

Beyond stroke control, the drill develops court awareness and footwork, as players are encouraged to move efficiently and use the court intelligently, including recovering through the middle. It also introduces basic decision-making and shot selection in a simple, age-appropriate format.

With its mix of movement, accuracy, and scoring, this drill delivers high engagement while building essential rally and control skills at an early stage.
