This is a volley drill for younger students. Line the kids up by the net to show them the volley movement. The kids are lined up by the net and can receive the ball from the coach at any moment.They have to concentrate, which is a great skill in tennis in itself. If they miss a feed, they lose a limb to the crocodile.First, they aren’t allowed to use their non-hitting hand. Then they ‘lose a leg’ and have to go down on one knee and so on.With each shot they make, they ‘regain’ a limb. The last person not to be ‘eaten’ entirely by the crocodile wins!
Ready postion, knees slightly bent, hand shake grip on racquet
