Coach feeds balls to the player at different areas of the court.
Player has to hit 4 balls in a row to the specific zones: (1.deep deuce, 2.deep ad, 3.short deuce, 4.short ad).
In this exercise, the court is divided into 4 zones so the coach can see how much control a player has while hitting volleys.
Basic "4 zones", is all about repetition, placement and control.
