Description and goals:
A drill to set up the passing shot. The idea is to hit a two-shot combination to pass the net player.
Organization:
One player starts in middle at baseline and one player starts in middle at net. The pro stands off the court to one side. Pro feeds baseline player who hits the ball low at the net players feet. When the net player hits a defensive volley, the baseline player steps in and drives the passing shot into the open court. Rotate one or both player's after the passing shot.
Variations: Player B has to hit low ball either down the line or crosscourt.
Key points:
First ball has to be hit at the net player's feet. Then baseliner must creep in expecting a weak volley.
