DESCRIPTION

  • Coach and player rally together.
  • Coach hits all the balls to the player's forehand volley.
  • Player alternates hitting deep volley back in the air to the coach and short volley back to the coach that bounces just in front of him.

COACHING POINTS

  • In this drill players improve the consistency and control of their forehand volley.
  • Main goal is to keep the longest rally possible to improve consistency.
  • Second goal is to see whether player is able to vary own depth while receiving the same kind of balls.
  • Coach should pay attention to both the body and the racquet to make sure that player is well prepared for what she will face during the competition in the more demanding situations.
