There are two teams of players: A-B vs. C-D, at the baseline (opposite sides). The coach is outside of the doubles alley, close to the net and on team C-D’s side of court. (see graphic below)
Drill:
The coach will begin every point by feeding the ball so that first bounce will be on the same side of the net then the ball should land as a short drop on the team A-B side.
Team A-B move up together to get the ball while team C-D step inside the baseline ready to react.
Teams play the point out then move back to the baseline to start another one.
Play first to win 5 points then either rotate players one spot clockwise or have teams switch sides.
Note:
The purpose of this drill is to teach players to work as a team, communicate and learn to anticipate the next shots.
