Pickleball machine set to fast speed to launch pickleball to within 1-2 feet of the baseline. Player returns the pickleball deep between the baseline and a chaulk line (2 feet away from the baseline). After all players have returned 5-10 serves adjust the machine to aim at the players backhand and repeat drill. After all players have returned the backhand serves set the pickleball machine to oscillate so the pickleballs land within the players court.
Use cones or hula hoops for targets near the baseline.
Return of serves should be deep to allow sufficient time for players to get to the NVZ
