Lobs and Overheads - Front 2 Back

Aim: To improve footwork, movement, and the lob, drop, and net shots.

How: This drill goes in a sequence of drop shot, net shot, lob, and carries on until either player cannot return the ball or breaks the sequence by hitting the wrong shot.

Both players start on the baseline at opposite ends of the court. Player 1 starts with the ball, lets it bounce once and plays a drop shot.

Player 2 has to run in and play a net shot, which player 1 follows up with a lob forcing player 2 to the back of the court to start the cycle again with a drop shot.

Progressions:

Make it so players can mix up the sequence so they have to react to the shot and not the cycle they know.
Add in extra shots to make a longer sequence.
