Step-By-Step
If you have a hard time staying low on your volleys, this is the drill for you. The “Get Low, Stay Low” volley drill is simple. One player will be at the net volleying while the other will be at the baseline hitting groundstrokes. The volleyer is required to touch the ground between each of his volleys. The goal is to see how many volleys you can hit in a row without losing the quality of the shots.
This drill is not only good for working on staying low, but it also helps you improve your reaction time. When you go back to hitting volleys normal without touching the ground in between, you will feel like you have all the time in the world.
Key Points to Remember:
- After you touch the ground, try to still stay low. This should not look like you are doing a burpee.
- Keep your chest up throughout.
- Bend with your knees, not your back.
