Deep-drive ladder

Success target: 8 of 10 drives land in the back quarter of the court.

How to run it

  1. 01Partner feeds from the net; you drive from the back of the court.
  2. 02Target: the last two metres before the back glass, alternating corners.
  3. 03Feeds get faster every 5 balls. Control the height over the net — net-skimmers are errors here.
  4. 04Swap roles after 20 balls.

Why it works

A drive that dies deep forces the volleyer to hit up — that is how you earn the net back.
