The player begins this drill from the service line, having a bunch of balls nearby.

She will attempt to serve diagonally, into the proper service box, from the service line. If her serve is in she will make a step back (toward the baseline); and so on as long as she gets it in. If she misses the serve she makes a step forward (toward the net).

The player will continue serving until she makes her way to the baseline.

Note: This drill is good as a serve warm-up or just to practice serve consistency under pressure.

Emphasize loose and relaxed arms and body.
