When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.

The Setup

The two players can talk to and see each other at all times. This setup facilitates the social interaction and encourages conversations such as challenging the other person or discussing winning strategies. For the players it feels like they are separated by a glass window, which splits the two parts of the field. They still hit the ball in the direction of the other player, but it comes back, bouncing off the wall.Tennis over a Distance
