Run Clear

Aim: To improve the clear technique.

How: At least 4 players are needed for this drill to work properly. Player 1 starts at one service line with a shuttle. Player 2 is positioned near the back of the diagonally opposite service box. Player 3 stands near the back of the service box opposite player 2, and player 4 should be off the court behind player 2.

Player 1 then hits a high serve to player 2. Player 1 runs round the court and stops behind player 4. As this happens player 2 plays a clear down the line in the direction of player 3. Player 2 then follows their shot to the same end as player 3.

Each player in turn hits a clear and follows their shot to the opposite side of the net. The rally keeps going until a player messes up.
