Part 1:Players use half width court to rally from baseline. Nominated player is trying to score 50 points hitting into 1,2 or 3 point zone. No points for ball landing in service box, lose 2 points for hitting the net. Players can compete against each other, who gets 50 poins first. Alternatively coach sets up time limit for completion of the drill ex 3min. If not succeeded players must complete physical task.
Part 2 : As above but volleys starting 1m inside the service box.
Emphasise on groundstrokes :
-aggresive baseline position ( to 1m behind ) whenever possible
- contact point above waist level whenever possible
- aggresive movement into the court ( ball ) when possible
-ball trajectory ( increased height when in defence )
