Hi Stan, this drill should help improve your players' readiness. There's a few more similar to this in the movement section.
Recovery Habits - Forehand
DESCRIPTION
This drill teaches how to achieve good positioning on the court. Coach tosses balls to the one side, and the player hits the ball and recovers to the proper spot. If the shot is cross court (yellow cone), player recovers to the closer (yellow) cone. If the shot is down the line to the red cone, player has to go to the further (red) cone.
