Notes & Homework
Skill: Swing Volley Transition ZoneĀ
- Weight Transfer: Load and rotate to allow weight to flow forward into your shot. Plant and then push through contact.
- Body Positioning: Step into the shot using weight transfer for power. Multiple small prep steps are better than fewer large steps.
- Hands: Eastern grip with laid back wrist.
- Swing: Swing through the ball like drawing a Nike swoosh to the side of you. Low to high swing plane. No backswing behind the body.
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.
Drill: Skinny Singles
- Focus onĀ drives and mid court swing volleys
- Observe the court and aim accordingly
Game Play Focus for the Week
