Tennis: Keep it stable while returning

Sportplan has been very helpful in guiding me through my first year...
Bill, Newly qualified coach

DESCRIPTION

Player stands on the balance platform.

Coach feeds the ball to the player's side, either to their left or right depending on the type of shot the player is practising.

Player hits volley back to the coach while maintaining their balance.

COACHING POINTS

In this drill, the player is working all the time on his/her balance, while at the same time he/she has to still execute the volley successfully.

PROGRESSION

As the player skill on the forehand volley increases, change how you feed the ball to him/her.

This can be higher or lower to the forehand or to the player's backhand.
