Michelle Johnston Coach, United States of America

DESCRIPTION

DRILL TYPE: Warm-Up FOCUS: Cardio SKILL LEVEL: All Level EQUIPMENT: Youth Racquets Basket of Balls (2) Ladders (2) Poly Spots (2) SETUPS: Catchers are on opposite side of the net at the baseline. Hitters are on the other baseline with the pro. The feeders are on the same side as the hitters, in the two alleys with a basket of balls. Place two Poly Spots in front of the the hitters in the backcourt. Place the two ladders on the same side of the hitters outside the doubles side line. DRILL: Hitters form two lines at the baseline. The feeders and ball bucket on each sideline. Feeders drop feed ball onto a target ( Poly Spot) . The hitters move in and hit a forehand/backhand ( whichever in their outside shot). Hitters move through the ladder and join the end of the other line. Players on the other side of the net catch or collect the balls. VARIATION: Have two feeders and move the ball bucket away from the feeder so they need to run to collect a new ball between shots.
