One pair starts about
1 metre inside the baseline on one side of the net, the other
pair on the baseline. Coach feeds ball from the end of the pair
just inside the court….they move in as the ball is fed.
Baseline pair can either
drive, dink or lob first shot..no rules..incoming pair MUST take
the first shot on their side out the air, volley or smash, after
that anything goes. Idea…incoming pair must react to opponents
first shot, if they see it’s a lob, back…if it’s a dink or a drive
go forward to take it on the volley.Baseline pair have to decide
on the correct stroke, if incoming pair look slow dink the ball,
if the incoming pair move in too quickly, throw up a lob. Coach
feeds alternate balls to the baseline pair..play 16 points then
change..a great doubles drill
