Coach stands in the advantage corner. Coach and player rally together before the coach moves the player around the court. The player's goal is to make all balls to the advantage corner.
Live ball is a great tool to develop tennis skills. Players can work on many different skills at the same time (technique, footwork, endurance etc).
