Is the space marked?

A ball; a score sheet.

1. Serve to the receiver, who controls it with the chest.
2. The partner sets it up with a gentle thigh touch.
3. The receiver returns it over the net with the foot.

Show it once from the front and once from the side, slowly. Then let your child try.

1. Only the receiver touches the serve first.
2. Both partners touch before the ball goes back.
