Catch

This drill is used especially for begginers and to correct the players that have a big swing resulting in hitting the ball late, but also a very good warm up drill when the rate that the coach feeds is increased.

The coach is positioned inside the service box. The player stays in the other side of the court, close to the net, without the racket. The coach feeds a slow high ball easy enaugh for the player to catch it in front. Naturally in order to catch a ball the player dosen't take the hand all the way back but meets the ball in front. This drill should be repeated untill the player has a natural short volley swing, just as if he would catch the ball wit his hand.

Obs. In order to use the drill as a warm up, the coach moves closer to the net and the player steps back, near the service line. The coach feeds the ball, the player has to catch it and throw it immediately to the coach who then volleys it back to the player in random directions.
