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.
Focus in particular on fast-feet, getting your player into position for the shot they are about to play.
Remind players to hit with enough net clearance to achieve depth.
