Hi friends!

Today we are going to tackle a tactical exercise on long balls. In this drill, we focus on how to react when a ball is sent wide toward the sideline.

OPTION A:

When Player A receives a long ball, a smart strategy is to send back a high, deep shot toward the center of the court.
This keeps Player A in the rally, allows quick recovery, and reduces the attacking angles that Player B can use.
It’s a safe, controlled way to maintain pressure while staying in the point.

OPTION B:

Another option for Player A is to counterattack with a powerful down-the-line shot.
This choice is riskier but can be very effective when executed correctly, as it may surprise Player B.
