Serves - Keep Serving It Up

Aim: To improve the flat, slice, kick, thrust launch, squat launch, and crossover launch serves and placement.

How: 5 targets are set up in the service boxes. 1 down the line that separates the two boxes, 1 down the center of each box, and 1 out wide on the line that separates the boxes from the tramlines.

Players then serve the ball at 50% of maximum power using all of the techniques and try to hit these targets as they go.

Have 20 serves and get a point for each time a target is hit.

Progressions:

Make the targets smaller
Hit the ball at 75% and then 100% of maximum power

Coaching Points:

Make sure all techniques are being carried out correctly.
