Many players don't know
when to use the overhead or to use the swinging volley. This is
a good drill to prepare them and help them feel comfortable, rather
than panicky when they encounter these opportunities to win a
point.
Have player stand about
halfway between the service line and baseline. Feed the player
identical high balls, forehand and backhand. As you feed, call
out "overhead" or "swinging volley." The player will then have
to adjust her footwork and position in order to hit the correct
stroke.
The benefit of this drill
is that the player will cease thinking about where she is and
get to where she should be to hit the winner.
