Tennis: Lob's Response

-Start off by placing a hoop in between the service line and the net(as shown in the picture).
-Players 1 and 2 are playing out the point whilst player 3 is trying intercept the ball that player 2 is hitting.
-The person at the net has to have at least one foot in the hoop at any one time.
-The player on their own has to avoid the person at the net by hitting all the balls wide or lobbed. If the point is won by a volley extra points are awarded.
-First one to 11 points and then swap around.

Player 1 is working in the full court and player 2 in half court, starting with the backhand corner.

The coach (or player 3) feeds a very short ball/ dropshot that player 1 must chase down and push back deep into the corner where player 2 is waiting.

Player 2 must then attempt to hit a winning topspin lob aggressively over player 1 who has moved to the net after playing the dropshot.

Player 1 can try to chase down the lob if it goes over their head or smash/ volley it away into the backhand corner if the lob is not good enough.

Players switch ends before repeating the drill to the other corner.

The coach feeds a deep ball to hitters.

Players must hit a topspin lob and then return to the back of the line after their shot.

With more advanced players the coach should feed the balls from the back of the opposite side of the court.

The coach feeds a challenging ball across the court to player 1 who has to lob player 2 with a top spin lob. Player 2 starts at the service line and moves towards the net before trying to smash the return if they can reach it.
