This is another “Hit Away” variation where the coach is at the net (deuce side), and the player at the baseline.
The coach feeds a ball which the player rallies sending the first two shots back to the coach. The third shot that comes from the coach is a short ball (inside the service box) which the player runs down and sends it to the open court.
The player then jogs around the court before going back in line.
The next player in line takes her place.
This drill can be done with one player or in large groups. If there is one player (private), instead of running around the court, the player can just go back to the baseline after each series of 3 balls, or the player is required to hit 3 – 5 balls back before receiving the short ball.
