9 Warm-up Reaction Catch Objective: to improve reaction speed and anticipation skills (Reaction speed is a skill that can be developed at a young age). Drill 1 1. Player A holds a ball in each hand at shoulder height and drops one randomly 2. Player B is 6 ft. away and sprints forward to catch the ball after one bounce 3.

Reaction and quick movement forwards Catch with hand on appropriate side of body Reaction Speed Coordination Drill 2 Concentration/Anticipation: Ability to focus on the ball, watch the player and then refocus on the next ball very quickly. Anticipation of the flight path of the incoming ball. Anticipation

10 Skill Evaluation Up the River Down the River Objective: to get the players to compete and enable the coaches to evaluate game skills Execution s 1. If preferred, create two full 60 singles courts using throw down lines (lines run along the net post to create the new singles sidelines) 2. Start with a 5 minute match warm up 3.

Grips, Preparation, Swing Paths 2. Are the players willing to move forward? 3. Who is looking to take the ball at the top of the bounce? Balance Coordination Agility Balance Coordination Lower and Upper body Strength Ball Recognition (not an athletic skill, but very important to observe)

11 Technical Development Volley to Volley Objective: to establish good continental grip skills for quality volley technique. Execution P P P P 1. Players A & B stand across from each other at the net 2. Each player s grip is choked up on the racquet 3. The non dominant hands are behind their backs 4. As each player progresses the hand can slowly be brought down from the throat to the handle. Hands (GPS): Grips- close to continental Preparation- racquet above the hand Swing Path- control of racquet towards target Feet: Athletic base with split step before volley Set the outside foot behind the ball and step with the opposite foot. Eyes & Mind: Play the ball above the height of the net: do not let the ball drop. Coordination Upper Body Strength Balance Lower Body Strength Reaction Speed Anticipation

GPS Control of racquet head above the hand Movement of the bottom edge of the racquet to the target Reaction Speed Anticipation Footwork Upper Body Strength

14 Game Development Progression of Aggression Objective: to apply the technical skills to support decision making skills when volleying. The players should learn to recognize when they hit a big ball and hurt their opponent, they should try to move forward and take a little P4 ground. 1. Coach racquet feeds a lateral FH and the player takes the ball off the court CC 2.

Ball Recognition Movement Footwork 1st step is out, allowing the player to open up the hip When covering the lateral ball, the 2 nd step is a cross-over step 3 rd step is load Agility Coordination Dynamic Balance

15 Game Development Swing Volley- Progression of Aggression Objective: to apply the technical skills to support decision making skills. The players should learn to recognize when they hit a big ball and hurt their opponent, that they should move forward to take ground. 1. Coach racquet feeds a inside out FH for the player to take inside out 2. Coach racquet feeds a swing volley for the player to move up and take the ball out of the air, CC off the court. 3. Player 1- Hitter 4. Players 2-4: on deck (coach can vary this to suit ability of group) C Progression: After the players have progressed to a swing volley, then the volley short angle as the third shot should be added.

Ball Recognition Anticipation Movement: Movement sequence is out to the ball with a good first step out, a cross-over, and a load behind the ball Dynamic Balance Lower Body Strength

16 Game Development Swing Volley- Progression of Aggression (Live Ball) P4 C P3 P2 Objective: to apply the technical skills to support decision making skills in volley combinations The players should learn to recognize when they hit a big ball and hurt their opponent, they should look to move forward to take ground. The coaches should be working with the players to get them to recognize when to move forward. 1. Coach racquet feeds an inside out FH and the player takes the ball inside out 2.
