Tiger in the Box
Posted on Dec 16, 2007 under Drills |This game will improve quickness and reflexes at the net.
The Instructor (I) stands in the back of the service line but in front of the baseline and places four players as shown in the diagram. The players play out the point with volleys after the instructor feeds the ball.
After several points the instructor throws up a deep lob. It is very important that this lob is not too short.
#3 and #4 race back for the overhead and #1 and #2 are required to act like Tigers staying in their boxes trying to reflex volley the overhead.
If #3 and #4 win the point, they return to the net, and the drill begins again. But if #1 and #2 win, then #3 and #4 must repeat the overhead.
