Volley and bandeja transition drill

What this lesson covers

The one up one down drill alternates between a volley at the net and a bandeja after a lob. The player at the net strikes a volley, then retreats to hit a bandeja when the opponent lobs. The primary objective is to maintain consistency while practicing the rapid recovery from the back of the court back to the net position after the bandeja.

The drill requires coordination between partners. The player at the back practices defensive lobs, while the net player focuses on the transition. Both cross-court and down-the-line directions are used to change the shot dynamics and improve accuracy. This exercise is suited for pairs warming up for a match or working on movement patterns.
