Tennis: Taking the ball early: One up, One back

The coach feeds a drop-shot from the basket. Players 1 and 2 are at the same end as the coach and are positioned at the net.

Player 3 must run forwards to try to get to the drop-shot and play it up to either of the players at the net.

The players at the net must lob-volley the ball back over player 3's head. Player must then 3 run back to chase the ball hitting it again to either of the players at the net, who then drop volleys this ball.

The point continues in this way until an unforced error is made or player 3 cannot run anymore!

Players 1 and 2 are at the net, player 3 is working from the baseline.

The point is live as soon as the first ball is fed in from the volleyers with tramlines being out for both ends.

However, the volleying players cannot hit a clean winner to win the point, they must force player 3 into making an error to score.

Player 3 can do whatever they wish with the ball to win the point, they also win the point if they can make the ball bounce before the volleyers can get to it.

Both players rally up and down the middle of the court from a central position.

Every so often the coach shouts 'player 1' or 'player 2' and for the next 30 seconds that particular player must not step foot behind the baseline. Every ball they hit must be played with both feet in front of the baseline, however difficult this is.

Tactic
Determine the rally with the wide serve. How effective is the serve on a wide serve.

Description
Player A is serving in area A all the time. However player B is not allowed to to stand in the tramlines before player A serves. Then play out points first to 7 points. Player A should be trying to dominate the rally with their serve pulling player B into or beyond the tramlines.
