It?s really important to work on volleys from different areas of the court. Too many times players practice these shots from the same spot so they get comfortable with the feeling but they are not able to execute volleys during match situations.
What?s in the Session?
Players should be versatile at the net and be able to hit volleys from differing angles and positions. That is why learning how to hit different volleys, both from the service line and close to the net, will develop specific technical and tactical skills that will guarantee an expected level of effectiveness under pressure.
One of the most effective skills that can be used at the net is a stop volley. Players who feel comfortable hitting this kind of shot are significantly more dangerous than competitors who are limited in this area.
