Cones are set inside the service boxes. The player starts from the middle, sprints to the right cone and imitates forehand volley. As fast as possible, the player recovers back and moves to the other side.
In this exercise, the player works on speed, agility, and footwork in net game situation. Playing at the net requires fast reaction with racquet as well with legs so players have to be aware of these facts and spend enough time to improve these factors.

The coach should pay attention to the first two steps while going to the volleys, as well as the first recovery step because these steps decide about net game's effectiveness.
