Cones are set in the deuce deep area. The coach feeds balls to the forehand or backhand and the player hits the ball while avoiding the deep deuce corner.

Drill specifications:

1 set and switch

1 player is working with the coach so other players have to perform other activities to keep improving while not hitting. Because ball perception is strongly connected with a reaction players should work on these skills while waiting for own turn. Simple cooperation where player A stands few meters away from player B and drops the ball that has to be caught after the one bounce is beneficial and can improve players effectiveness on the court.

The player stands at the net, and the coach feeds balls to the backhand's side. The player then hits 6 backhand volleys in cross court direction. First 2 balls are played deep; next 2 balls have medium depth; last 2 balls are hit short.
