Tennis: Serve and Volley

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

DESCRIPTION


-Player serves diagonally to returner / feeder who hits cross court.
-Server moves forward and volleys back to returner / feeder.
-Returner / feeder hits a short low ball to the net players feet.
-The returner / feeder then plays out the point.
-Lobs are only allowed after a minimum of two volleys.

COACHING POINTS

  • If the returner struggles to hit to specific directions then they can feed in the first two shots and only play out in a 'live situation' after the low volley by server.
  • Remind the volleyer to maintain a low stance to help with 'picking up' the low volley from their feet.
