- Player stands at NVZ and self feeds forehand swing volleys.
- Hitter hits swing volleys at the targets. Perform both odd and even sides.
Drill: Speed Up & Counter Attack
- Players stand straight on at NVZ.
- Start cooperative dink rally alternating which player hits the speed up.
- Opponent is looking to recognize the speed up and counterattack it.
- Perform this cooperatively by slowing down the pace on your speed ups and slowing down your counter attacks.
