Drill of the Week: Covering The Middle 💪
 
This will help with:

✅ Anticipating speed ups 
✅ Developing strong counterattacks 
✅ Forcing pop ups 

Here’s how it’s done:
-In this live ball rally, players will dink rally cross court 
-One player is looking to speed up down the middle while the other will counterattack straight ahead 
-Practice this pattern for 15-20 minutes and then start again dink rallying on the other side 
-Add this drill to your weekly practice to own the middle!
