Kevin Keen Coach, Scotland

DESCRIPTION

Players step up one at a time to a marked position right at the net on the opposite side from the coach who is about 1m back from the net. Coach will underarm feed a soft ball to player who will simply volley the ball easily back to the coach's hands. They will then move to the end of the line as the next player steps up for their shot.

COACHING POINTS

Players should be standing right at the net, this should mean they don't need to really swing at the ball to get it over the net. Volley Technique should be a fluid, high five like motion, the racket should never bend back. Player is right at the net, that means very little contact is needed, focus on getting racket to ball. Coach can progress the drill by alternating the height of the feed, and by stepping back to throw the ball from slightly further away, eventually drop feeding from near the back of the court (very unlikely as that's a high progression).
