Tennis: Cross Court Forehand/Forehand

-The coach feeds down the line, the player runs to hit the ball cross court into the target area.
First player to 3 shots (or higher if more advanced players) wins the game.
-The drill can then be run similarly from the backhand corner.

Five cones set up at end of the court as shown.

Coach feeds the ball to player A to hit with a forehand cross court shot into the target area. Player A to return to starting position ready for the next feed.

Coach then feeds another ball across the court to the opposite side for Player A to hit an inside out forehand down the line to the target area. Player returns to starting position.

Repeat drill so that Player A hits 4 shots, then joins the queue for Player B's turn.

The aim is to encourage players to progressively attack on the move.

Coach feeds 3 balls to player A as per diagram.

Player A should aim to hit the return ball down the centre of the court.

Player A then joins the queue and Player B joins the drill.

4 players A, B, C, and D.

4 discs or cones are placed half way between the service line and the service box on each side of the court.

Player A rallys with player B, and C with D (hitting cross court). Each player hits a deep forehand beyond the disc.

The aim of the drill is to keep the rally going, stepping outside the line of the ball to return to your partner.
