In this drill player tries to maintain consistency while hitting balls deep to the center of the court. Choosing this direction is a great option not only in defensive situations but also while playing against opponents who like to move to the ball. Responding to the center shot requires movement away from the ball which many players don’t train at all. Additionally, from the tactical point of view, hitting from the center limits possibilities to put pressure on the rival just to deep shots because it is almost impossible to hit good angle shot from this spot on the court. Coach can set up zone and award points for every shot made inside or focus on the number of balls without a mistake if consistency is the major goal.
