Tennis: Run Forrest, run!

Players 1 and 2 are at the net, player 3 is working from the baseline.

The point is live as soon as the first ball is fed in from the volleyers with tramlines being out for both ends.

However, the volleying players cannot hit a clean winner to win the point, they must force player 3 into making an error to score.

Player 3 can do whatever they wish with the ball to win the point, they also win the point if they can make the ball bounce before the volleyers can get to it.

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.

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.

-Lines of cones are placed as seen in the picture above.
-To make the drill easier it can be played on one half of the court and later progressed to full court.
-If the ball lands in the service box a point is deducted.Ball landing between the 2 lines of cones = 1 point.Players gain 3 points for shots hit into the last quarter.
-First player to 11 points wins the game.
-The game can also be started with a second serve.
