Game Strategies - Step In

Aim: To improve volleys, approach shots and footwork

How: Player 1 starts at the service line on one side of the net, player 2 starts a bit behind the baseline on the opposite side of the court.

Player 1 feeds the ball to player 2's forehand, player 2 returns the ball with an approach shot down the line.

Player 1 then hits the ball to player 2's backhand, who hits a backhand volley cross court, and for the last shot player 1 hits a shot to the opposite side of the court to player 2's forehand. Player 2 then hits an aggressive forehand volley cross court to win the point.

Swap roles and repeat the drill.

Progressions:

  • Add in more shots
  • Player 1 can try and keep the rally going after the three shots

Coaching Points:

  • Make sure footwork is correct
  • Make sure technique of all shots is good.
