Also known as bounding, this drill is a simple exercise that improves reactive power. Start on one doubles sideline and run to the opposite doubles sideline taking as few steps as possible. This should force you to take four to five very large strides. After you bound across the court, walk back. Repeat this drill three times, increasing up to 10 times as strength and fitness improves.
