What players are learning
Learn to score with a soft shot off a normal approach.
Set it up
- Cones in the short and deep corners.
- A coach or setter feeding sets.
Run the drill
- Hit a tip just over the block.
- Then a roll shot to deep cross-court.
- Then a full swing. Cycle through all three, three times each.
What to say
- Same approach, same arm speed.
- Only the finish changes.
- Place it, do not push it.
How to score it
9 reps, 3 of each. Count how many land in the intended zone.
Make it harder
- Coach calls which shot as the set is in the air.
