Hello everyone !

Today I'm going to introduce you to a basic exercise to improve your tennis volleys. The main objective is to continue moving forward after hitting the ball.

Execution of the exercise:

• Start by placing a marker on the center service line, just inside the service area.
• Afterwards, place three more markers in a line, one meter from the starting marker. Then, make a second line with three other markers, parallel to the first three, at a distance of 60 centimeters.
• Stand in a ready position at the start marker.
• Advance in the "river", that is to say between the first three markers, and hit the ball in front of your body.
• Bend your knees and push toward the net to accompany the ball after contact. It is important to maintain your forward momentum and cross the "river".
• Your coach will send you balls for your forehand and backhand. After each volley, backtrack to the start marker to prepare for the next one.
