Coach, 1 player, and a basket of tennis balls.
Coach faces player 1 who is stood on the centre of the baseline.
Coach drops the first feed to his right for the player to runaround and play an inside out forehand anywhere down the court.
Coach then drops the second feed to his left for the player to run around and play a backhand drive anywhere down the court.
Drill continues.
Player to step sideways with quick feet to get in position to play the shots.
Player to recover to the starting point before playing the next shot.
Ball to be hit at the top of the bounce.
Keep up the players work rate.
