Drill guides

Week 1 · Forehand & backhand

Cross-court rally

Rally diagonally, above net height, into the back of the box — consistency over power.

Week 2 · The volley

1-up-1-back

Volley at the net while your partner feeds from the back, recovering to centre after every shot.

Week 3 · Walls & the bandeja

Back-glass rebound + bandeja

Let the deep ball pass, take it off the glass, then answer a lob with a sliced overhead.

Week 4 · The lob & doubles positioning

Lob to take the net

Lift it deep over the net players, then move up together as a pair to take the net.

Week 1 · The serve

Serve deep

Serve diagonally to the deep corners — deep and in beats hard and out.

Week 2 · The dink

Cross-court dinks

Both at the kitchen line — soft, low, diagonal shots that land and die inside the kitchen.

Week 3 · The third-shot drop

Third-shot drop

A soft arc from the baseline that drops into the kitchen, giving you time to move up to the line.

Week 4 · Kitchen rules & doubles positioning

Get to the line

Once your shot is safe, move up together and hold the kitchen line — the team at the line wins the point.
