Defend the fortress

Success target: As defenders, force the net pair past 6 shots in 5 separate points.

How to run it

01One pair holds the net; the other pair may only play balls after glass contact or from behind the service line.
02Defending pair's goal: survive — lobs and resets only, no winners allowed.
03Net pair's goal: finish points in under 6 shots.
04Play 5 points, count the shots, then swap roles.

Why it works

Defence in padel is a war of patience — a pair that survives the first smash usually gets the net back within three shots.
