Hi Will,
Players can spend a lot of the match at the net when playing doubles, it's therefore important to work on their anticipation, reaction and speed across at the net. Here's a fun drill to start with, encouraging players to anticipate the ball and control the shot into the corner. Hope this helps!

Poach with touch
DESCRIPTION
The player stands close to the net on the deuce side. The coach feeds diagonal ball to the ad side. The player then sprints across the centre and hits a backhand stop volley cross-court.
