Step 3

Drill Description:
The players are standing on the
court. The attack line functions as
the base line.
Step1: The players simulate the
throw-off movement without a ball
and try to internalize the take-off
movement. The touch-down takes
place on both legs in the attacking
area.
Step 2: Instead of hitting the ball
across the net, the players perform
the service movement into their
weak hand. Keep in mind to hit the
ball in the highest possible spot.
Step 3: The players hit the ball across
the net from variable positions and
distances. Increase the distance of
the run-up to the net as the net
height is raised.

Drill Variations:

Support your run-up rhythm,

verbally (stage 1)
Vary your run-up direction
(straight, curved); (stage 1)
Use different types of balls
(stage 2)
Perform the overall movement
with a tennis ball (stage 3)
