Tennis: Quick hands: Rat-a-tat volleys

Your tennis drills are extremely useful coaching tools.
Nail, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

Both players are at the net in the volley position, rallying cooperatively to each other for 1 minute.

Players are trying to achieve as many volleys as they can in one minute. If they hit the ball into the net or the opposing player can't reach the ball, the next ball is fed in immediately and the drill continues.

The minute is repeated 5 times with the players resting for 1 minute between sets to recover and think of ways to improve their score!

Scores are counted and can be compared with other courts or players to make the drill competitive.

COACHING POINTS

Again here, the harder the players volley, the quicker the ball will move through the air and therefore the more 'hits' will be made. However, at what cost?

Players need to look for controlled power rather than frantic play - More haste less speed?
