Great for your child
It makes sports feel magical and accessible while offering a sense of mastery through skill shots.
Great for you
Matches are short enough for quick breaks and the 'Swing Mode' keeps everyone physically active.
Parent notes
Ensure the Joy-Con wrist straps are securely fastened during Swing Mode to prevent accidents. Clear a 5-foot radius of space around players to avoid hitting furniture or each other. Disable or supervise global online rankings to keep the focus on local family fun.
The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Playing doubles on the same team creates genuine cooperative back-and-forth, though fast-paced rallies can leave a younger player sidelined if the more experienced partner instinctively covers the entire court.
Skills this builds
- Coordinating front-court volleys and back-court baseline coverage as a doubles pair
- Calling out incoming Zone Shots so the right partner steps up to attempt a block
- Agreeing on custom match rules like disabling special energy moves for a more relaxed rally
Try this together
When you play doubles together, agree that one person stays near the net for drop shots while the other protects the baseline against deep lobs.
