3 Easy Drills to Provide Variety for Practices
Posted on Dec 15, 2007 under Drills |
Ball in a Sock
#1 takes a sock with a ball in it and goes through the exact service motion she normally uses. The player is required to throw the sock across the net into the service box which is shaded. #1 then goes to the back of the line. #4 throws the ball back using her service motion. The first team to miss the service box five times loses.
Conserving Water
This game is great for two teams of beginners. Both teams have a small paper cup full of water. Each player must hit two forehands from the water and then hand off the cup spilling as little as possible. After each player has hit, the team with the most water left in the cup wins. The other team picks up all the balls.
Around The World
Establish a series of 7 stations around the court and have the players hit from each one successfully before advancing to the next one. If a player misses a shot, he can “chance it.” But if the chance fails, he is required to start over. If the player does not take the chance, he may stay at the station until the next turn. The winner successfully goes from stations 1-7 and returns 7-1.
