If you have time to play only one little fun game, play this one!
This is an excellent game for developing juggling skills, "first-touch", passing skills and performing under pressure. The best thing is that the kids love it and will play on their own! We all know how important it is to be able to quickly control bouncing balls during a game. Soccer tennis will create hundreds of quality touches while the players are having fun. Without even trying, they will learn to receive chest balls, thigh controls, instep volleys and head touches. Soon they will be sliding sideways to get in front of the pass instead of poking out with their legs. We think most important of all players will learn how to place balls and play thoughtful passes into corners, over heads into space, bending balls and slicing balls.....
Here is an excellent site that talks about the game and more.

We like using the Brasilian Futebol for Soccer Tennis because of it's size weight and bounce. It makes for a more challenging session and will develop skill more quickly.
