Tennis: Circle Volley to a Target

Thank you very much for the marvellous site.
Nick, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

Teacher feeds the ball, however the student must shout out when they are about to split step (which would be just before the teacher feeds the ball).

Ball is hit to centre of court and student makes a low forehand volley to the target before returning to the line.

Concentrate on stopping for split step and controlling the volley.

COACHING POINTS

  • Coach feeds ball when player split steps
  • Check that the player is going forward towards the ball when volleying.
