Hello friends, here is an exercise to improve smash skills in different situations.

Execution of the exercise:

Two cones are placed on the court, a blue cone is positioned behind the player, and a green cone placed closer to the net, in front of the player.

• The player initially positions himself near the green block.
• The coach throws a ball high in the air towards the blue block, thus simulating a smash situation.
• The player quickly steps back towards the blue block to hit the ball with a smash.
• The coach throws a second ball high in the air towards the green block.
• The player quickly advances towards the green block, which is placed closer to the net to hit the ball with a smash.

And so on !

This drill works on both backward and forward smashes, which helps improve the player's versatility and responsiveness on the court.
