Tips & Games

Whether used as a tennis training aid, for exercise or a game to be played with friends, Rebound™ is exciting, dynamic and great fun. We want to ensure you get the very most from your Rebound System, therefore we have put together a list of tips and suggestions which will help to enhance the fun you have:

Getting Started

  1. Tie the Power Band™ to the black nylon swivel attached to the Sand Bag, then fill the Sand Bag with a suitable weight, sand is ideal. Alternatively if playing on grass use the Ground Pin, simply pass the pin through the the swivel, always insert the Ground Pin to its full length

  2. If necessary adjust the Power Band™ to suit the play area, to do this simply tie a loop in the band to reduce it's length

  3. Place the Sand Bag on the ground hit the ball, it rebounds you have fun!

Tips

  1. The unique design of the Power Band™ allows the ball to react as though being returned by an opponent; it is strong and durable but not indestructible, snagging on branches or cuts and abrasions will weaken the band so please treat with care

  2. If your Power Band™ breaks simply tie the two ends together and carry on playing

  3. Do not allow the Power Band™ to lie around for long periods of time in direct sunlight, this will cause it to dry out and become brittle, after use re-pack the band in the Storage Case

  4. Store your Power Bands™ separately to prevent entanglement

  5. Even when twisted the Power Band™ performs well, but occasionally take time to remove the twist as this will enhance your game and protect the band

  6. Wherever possible play Rebound™ on firm even ground and if playing on grass as with traditional tennis the shorter the better

  7. When shortening the Power Band™ tie the loop around the ring at the end of the Storage Case, this will prevent it from over tightening and allow you to lengthen the band again

  8. Shortening the band will make play easier, particularly for beginners and children

  9. Hitting the ball at a higher trajectory also makes playing Rebound™ easier, particularly for children

  10. Never fill the sand bag with sharp objects, sand is ideal

  11. Make a permanent weight for your Sand Bag; Fill a plastic freezer bag with a suitable weight, tie the open end to seal then place in the Sand Bag

Safe Play

  1. Before beginning Rebound™ check the area of play for trip hazards

  2. Only use the Ground Pin in firm ground and always fully insert to it’s maximum length

  3. Once finished playing Rebound™ re-pack the band in the Storage Case, this will protect it from damage and prevent any potential hazard to children and pets

  4. Rebound™ is most suitable for 8+, however, as with any outdoor activity involving children we strongly recommend supervision at all times

Games

Rebound™ is not only a fantastic way to staying fit and improving your tennis it's also a great game to be played with friends, whether on the beach, in the garden or at the park, Rebound™ is all about having fun. Below are some Rebound games:

Hit & Pass

An energetic high tempo fun game for as many players as you can muster. Played with or without a Rebound Net and just one Rebound racket. The objective is to hit the ball and pass the racket to the next player without dropping a shot...or the racket!

All participants line up behind the player with the racket who makes the serve, he then passes the racket to the next person in line who fields the second shot and passes the racket to the next in line, this continues until each player has had a shot.

After each player has hit their first shot the racket will be back with the original server, this time as you Hit & Pass you must complete your shot, if you fail to rebound the ball or you miss the shot you're out. The winner is the last person with the racket.

Pairs

 A game for two players and where possible a Rebound Net. This game gives players the opportunity to test their tennis skills, accurate shots, keen footwork and energy will make you a winner. Standing side by side each player takes it in turn to play a shot.

The objective is to return your opponents shot so the ball rebounds, you score one point regardless of server for each of your opponents dropped shots. First to fifteen with two clear points takes the set...play as many sets as your body and mind will take!
