Deep volley drill: staying behind the yellow line

What this lesson covers

Players must land every shot behind the yellow marks placed on both sides of the court. Only one ball per pair is allowed to bounce in front of this line. This constraint forces a continuous volley-to-volley duel from the back of the court, preventing players from rushing the net prematurely.

The exercise requires a brief pause behind the yellow line before striking. This pause allows players to shift their body weight forward and step across the line during the follow-through. By staying deep, players gain extra time to load their legs and move their momentum toward the net. This drill is for players who struggle to maintain a balanced forward motion when volleying from deep positions.
