Line and Drop:

Coach feeds a long ball across the court.

Players have to run across the court to play the ball deep down the line and then across to the net to play a short drop shot down the line.

Each player hits the 2 shots and then go to the back of the queue.

Movement

Anticipation and reactions:

Player side steps until the coach drops a ball.

The player must catch the ball before the second bounce. Players can also start from a stationary position with heels of the ground or hopping on one leg or criss crossing the legs or with player starting with their back to coach and the coach shouting out when throwing the ball.
