Tennis: Touch The Hand With Rotation

Working on net clearance and top spin
Place 4 rackets on top of the net.
Players should aim to hit the ball to the last quarter of the court.
Pairs take it in turns and rally for the highest score.

In a rally with the coach the player must hit the ball in a given pattern.

Moving from one side of the court to the other the player will focus solely on playing 2 forehand cross court shots and 1 forehand inside in.

2 players rally together in cross court direction. 3 zones are set on each player’s side (Red, Yellow, Green). Player has to hit particular shot according to the opponent’s balls placement. If the ball lands in the red zone player hits defensive/neutral shot. If the ball lands in the yellow zone player hits neutral/offensive shot. If the ball lands in the green zone player has to attack it.

Drill specifications:

30-60 seconds and switch

4 players can work on the court at the same time while others can have different duties. Coach can put 2 players next to the net post and let them say “stop” when the ball goes over the net. This is the signal for the player and feedback at the same time of their perception time. If there are more players on the court coach can make them do some fitness drill or put them far behind the hitting players and work on ball perception on their own.

The coach tosses the balls to the deuce side. Player's goal is to make many adjustment steps before he hits the forehand.
