Objective
Practice an offensive transition from the baseline to the net using consecutive drive shots.
How the drill goes
Player 1 stays at the non-volley zone (NVZ) line and serves cooperative balls, simulating a return to serve. Player 2 starts at the baseline and simulates a drive third shot.
Net Player (Player 1):
Player 1 blocks the initial drive shot from Player 2.
Continues to block each drive, aiming to control and reset the ball to maintain the rally.
Baseline Player (Player 2):
Player 2 starts with a drive third shot, aiming to force a response from Player 1.
After each drive, Player 2 drives again, maintaining an offensive approach.
The goal is to continue driving the ball until they reach the net, simulating an aggressive offensive transition.
Focus on maintaining control and accuracy with each drive, progressively moving closer to the NVZ with each shot.
This drill continues with Player 2 driving repeatedly, working their way to the net while Player 1 focuses on blocking and controlling the drives. This exercise is excellent for practicing aggressive play, transitioning offensively from the baseline to the net, and improving drive shot accuracy and consistency.
