There are two players: A vs. B; both begin at the baseline (opposite sides). The coach is outside of the singles court, close to the net, and on player B’s side of the court. (see graphic below)
Drill:
The coach will begin every point by feeding the ball so that the first bounce will be on the same side of the net then the ball should land as a short drop on player A’s side.
A moves up to get the ball while B steps inside the baseline ready to react.
They play the point out then move back to the baseline to start another one.
Play first to win 5 points then players switch sides.
Note:
The purpose of this drill is to teach players anticipation, decision-making, and quick reaction.
