Drill of the Week: Defending Drives 🛡️
 
This will help with:

✅ Neutralizing drives
✅ Reducing attacks 
✅ Remaining offensive 

Here’s how it’s done:
-One player will volley at the kitchen and the other drives at the baseline 
-In a live ball rally, the player at the kitchen will work to volley down to keep the ball low and the player at the baseline will drive to force a high ball they can attack 
-Once you’ve practiced this for about 15 minutes, you can switch roles with your partner
-Add this drill to your weekly practice to beat the bangers!
