This is a drill that should be done fast and against the clock.Player starts at the baseline center and at command, he shuffles sideways to the left corner (of the baseline), then shuffles along the baseline to the other corner (right). He gets back to the baseline center from where he sprints to the left corner of service line ; from there he back pedals back to baseline center. He sprints straight ahead to the service-T (center line and service line); back pedals to the baseline center. One more sprint to the right corner of the service line; back pedal to the baseline center.Repeat this pattern 2-3 times depending of playerâs athleticism and conditioning, at full speed. Rest for 40 seconds and repeat until you have completed five reps. Increase the number of reps by one with each training session until you can perform 15 reps.
