Notes & Homework
Ā Skill: Swing Volley

- Weight Transfer: Load and rotate to allow weight to flow into your shot. Keep your weight low. Do not pick up with the shot.

Drill: Self Feed Swing Volley
- Set out target rings in back 3rd of court: 1 straight on, one in the middle and one cross court.
- Player stands at NVZ and self feeds forehand swing volleys.
- Hitter hits swing volleys at the targets.
- Perform both odd and evenĀ sides.
Drill: Drop, Attack, Volley
- Set up 3 cones on the sideline as guides: 1 at baseline, 1 at midcourt, 1 at NVZ. 1 player at the baseline and 1 player at NVZ straight on.
- NVZ player feeds a ball to each cone depth. Baseline player hits a drop from the baseline walks forward to transition, hits a swing volley attack at midcourt, then a volley from NVZ.
- Focus is on footwork and not overrunning the attackable ball. Accelerate forward to attack the ball and use your weight transfer to create power.
