Tennis: Bobble Feed Catch

Thanks for everything! Sportplan has helped me to improve my tennis...

Andrea, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

One player on post and another fielding deep on each shoulder.

The ball is fed in with a bounce (objects are on the floor to create and random bounce trajectory).

Where ever the ball bounces the closest player stops the ball and throws it in to the post.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Batting - four player rotation:

One player is batter, one as back-stop, one as first base and other deep fielding.

The bowler feeds the ball to the batter.

The batter gets several balls feed them to practice hitting.

Bowling Machine

Batting - five player rotation:

One player as backstop, one on each of the first 3 posts and one as batter.

The batter gets fed the ball until they hit it. When they do hit it the run to first post and everyone else runs onto the next post.

They player who has run from 3rd to forth is now in bat.

Bowling Machine

3 ball round the clock:

Setup: 4 players stand in a diamond with 3 balls. A 5th player stands in the middle.

To start the drill 1 of the outside players throw their ball to the player in the middle who has to return the ball the player who did not have a ball before the ball was thrown.

The middle player then rotates to receive the next ball and the drill continues in this way.

Throwing & Catching

Advanced catch ball rotation:

The 2nd player in the line throws a high ball over the head of the 1st player, for them to run onto and catch close to the bowling square.

Once they have caught the ball they should turn and throw to the fielding player at the 4th post.

The 4th post player then throws the ball to the new 2nd player in the line who then repeats the exercise.
