-One of the players has to stay on or inside the baseline.
-With more advanced players both have to play on or inside the baseline.
-First player to 11 points wins the game.
-To make the drill easier it can be played on one half of the court and later progressed to full court.
-The game can also be started with a second serve.

Players rally up and down the middle of the court with 1 player at the baseline and one at the net.

The aim of the drill is to hit as many balls in 1 minute as possible, counting as they go.

The minute period is repeated 5 times with players resting for 1 minute between each repetition to recover and collect balls ready for the next drill.

Players should continuously try to beat their own score each time, but this drill can also be made competitive by comparing the scores between other pairs of players.
