Tennis drill for 2 players - Short Ball Attack

This tennis drill can be done with two players and helps them practice the net approach and how to take advantage of a short ball.


Two players rally forehand cross-court until one of them hits a shorter ball (inside of the service line). The other player then attacks the ball placing it down the line. The rally continues on full court; play it out.


Play first to win 7 points then switch to rallying backhand cross-court to start the point.

Note: This is a good drill for net approach; taking advantage of a short ball and charging the net.
