Tennis: Stop-volley control

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

DESCRIPTION

  • Player stands close to the net.
  • Coach feeds random balls in different directions.
  • Player reacts and hits only stop-volleys down the line.

COACHING POINTS

In this drill player works on control with stop volleys while being under time pressure. By random feeding coach forces player to have strong focus as also challenges her from the physical point of view. Coach should observe how well player can control the racquet while being out of balance. This skill is necessary to train because while playing against good opponents many situations don’t give too much time to prepare the shots. Player has to base own actions on automated habits learned during the practice sessions so technical drills have to implemented if player has limitations in volley’s technique.
