Warm-up drills: baseline to net movement

What this lesson covers

The warm-up begins with mini-padel to focus on footwork and creating time by moving backward. Players transition to the baseline to hit strokes, keeping the ball low and in front of the body. The sequence continues with glass-to-glass shots, emphasizing core rotation and ensuring the ball bounces behind the service line.

Next, the routine incorporates approach shots with and without the wall, requiring a split step before retreating. Players then move to the net for one-up, one-back drills to refine impact points and footwork. The warm-up concludes with high-low sequences to prepare for overheads, specifically practicing the bandeja or vibora. These drills mirror actual game scenarios and demand consistent execution.
