Tennis balls

Tennis balls thrown toward the sideline; catch with one hand while keeping both feet on the field. The smaller target requires greater visual precision than the ball itself does.

Key points

  • One hand: the one on the outside.
  • Feet should be planted before the ball is secured.
  • Twenty balls, ten per side.

Common mistakes

  • Stepping out of bounds to give yourself some margin.
  • Catching with both hands, which makes the drill too easy.
