Overhead drill like King of the Court

Written By: Jason Wiles Category: Overheads Date Updated: 6/17/2005 I like this overhead drill, it’s kinda like king of the court. You can also play this with approach shots. Basically line up the participants at the left netpost. One "King" on the other side of the net at the baseline. Then the coach is on the side of the “King” but more off to the side. The first player in the line runs up and hits the net once with their racquet and goes up for a deep overhead. If they miss it, go to the end of the line. If they make it, they have to run up and hit the net once again. They receive another overhead and this time, play out the point against the king. If they win this point, they receive a POINT. The person hitting the overheads has to get 2 points in a row to take the spot of the king on the other side. Or, you can start by having everyone on the baseline and feed the first ball as an approach shot, if they make it, come up to the net and get a volley...the person then plays this point out with the king for the chance of a point – you can also raise it to where you have to win three points in a row to take the kings side.   Drill Photos No images available...
