Coach, 2 players, and a basket of balls.
Coach feeds ball 1 from just inside the t junction of the service box to the corner of the singles court.
Player 1 starts off on the centre of the baseline, and moves to meet the feed and hit a deep backhand down the line, then recovers to the start position.
Coach feeds ball 2 mid court for player 1 to step into and hit a backhand down the line.
Coach then moves backwards along the line, feeds ball 3 just in front of the net for player 1 to move on to and hit a backhand down the court.
Player 1 moves to the back of the court, and player 2 steps in and the drill is repeated.
Ball to be hit on the top of the bounce.
Racket head to be in the correct position to ensure ball clears the net with depth.
Quick feet to recover to the starting position.
Encourage players to keep up their work rate.
