SHORT RALLY TENNIS DRILL

Develop consistency by learning to rally with a partner from service line to service line. Concentrate on moving into position for each shot, preparing early and hitting the ball in the center of the racket. Set a goal of twenty-five or thirty shots without a miss. Meet your goal, and then move half way between the service line and baseline and repeat the drill. Finally, move to the baseline and rally crosscourt. Set a goal and meet it while rallying from the deuce side and the ad side. Your consistency, depth and pace will improve significantly.

THE TENNIS TWO STEP

Do the two-step to improve your footwork and become an aggressive tennis player. Watch your opponent as he moves to get into position to return your shot. If your opponent is struggling to get to a short ball, a wide ball or a deep ball, you should move two or three steps inside the baseline. From your position inside the baseline, you can easily move forward to attack a weak return.
