Goals and guidelines
- This is a fun, competitive ¾ court style session.
- One of the back corners is not used for the drill, and the “spare” players can stand here (as in 3/4 court), and swap in at the end of the next rally.
- It progresses through from a closed drill working on cross court length and width, to a more open one, which will challenge decision making and disguise skills too.

Description
1. 2 players at any one time, player A boast, B cross-court drive, then A straight drive, B now boasts and so on. You can score this, with the winning player scoring a point and staying on.
When finished, progress to the next game.
2. With this progression, after the boast, you have an option of x-drop or cross-court drive. Rally then continues as above with a drive and a boast. Again this can be made into a game by scoring.
3. As 2 but after any straight drive, you have the option of another straight drive.
4. Repeat 1-3 on the other side.
Points to work on
- Working back to the T after each shot.
- Getting appropriate width.
- Pushing forward whenever possible – can you volley the cross-court? |
