Lose the net, take it back

Success target: Regain the net in 5 of 10 points that start from defence.

How to run it

  1. 01Start every point with your pair at the back and the opponents installed at the net.
  2. 02Your only goal: regain the net legally — usually via a deep lob — then win the point from there.
  3. 03Points won from the back court count zero; the drill scores net-regains.
  4. 0410 points, then swap starting positions.

Why it works

The pair at the net wins most points at every level — the skill that moves your level is how often you can get there from behind.
