1. Use your timeouts wisely. You're allowed three in a 21-point game and two in an 11-point game.

2. Stop your opponent's run of points after four or five consecutive winners. The goal is to throw off your opponent's timing and rhythm.

3. Take a break if you start feeling tired.

4. Rest if you've hurt yourself.

5. Call a timeout if you've lost your concentration. Take the time to regain your focus on the game.

Tips & Warnings

• Timeouts last 30 seconds.
• Avoid using your timeouts just because you have them. You want to keep a semblance of rhythm to your game.
• Save at least one timeout for the end of the game just in case you need it.
• If you have any condition that would impair or limit your ability to engage in physical activity, please consult a physician before attempting this activity. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
