In this exercise, the main emphasis is put on control and footwork. Coach stands in front of the player and tosses balls randomly. Player has to adjust to the incoming ball and hit controlled volley back to the coach. Proper form and consistency are main goals to achieve.
The key to playing effectively at the net is control. Players without control cannot be successful at the net because they have less time to react to the incoming ball. Staying low and making split steps will help players to react faster so their position will be more accurate.
