Overheads to 10 Drill
Posted on Dec 17, 2007 under Drills |This drill builds forward-backward movement and emphasizes placement of the overhead.
Place the Sports Targets as shown above and give each a number or name. The Instructor (I) should stand inside the baseline in order to make the lobs go up quickly over players’ heads.
The Instructor (I) throws up a lob and calls a number. #1 must respond by hitting the overhead for that target. A successful shot earns the player a point. Then the player must run to the net and touch it before the Instructor feeds the next ball.
After #1 scores 10 points, the next player can go. The drill is difficult, so you can adjust the number as needed. I suggest making it very low at first, and then gradually build to 10.
