Home Practice: Volley to the Wall

Our students love to play tennis with the wall. Playing tennis with the wall is really one of the best ways to learn to love the feel of the ball on the strings. 

**Remember a volley is BLOCKING the ball in the air (no bounce)

VOLLEY TO THE WALL 

 Use a foam or pressureless (red, orange ball) against a wall or garage door

Mission: Keep the ball going off the wall without a bounce

First try only using one stroke (Forehand volley, than try Backhand volley)

Second, see if you can change between the forehand and backhand volley

Third, Add an approach shot where you stand a little farther back and hit a forehand and get close to the wall for a volley war!
