Leave it all
on the court.

Set up Use a court, 5–10 balls, and a flat target marker well inside each diagonal service court. Keep markers away from anyone's footing.

1. Choose a volley serve or drop serve and check the corresponding rules above.
2. Hit 10 from the right, then 10 from the left; collect balls between sets.
3. Count legal serves separately from serves that reach the target. Repeat with the same routine.

Build it After 8 of 10 legal serves from each side, make the target smaller or deeper. Change one variable at a time.

Success target 8 of 10 legal serves from each side; 5 of 10 in the chosen target area.

Set up One player serves; the other receives behind the baseline. Choose a large return target several feet inside the opposite baseline.

1. Let the serve bounce, return into the deep target, and begin moving toward the kitchen line.
2. The server lets the return bounce before hitting a controlled third shot. The receiver stops and gets ready as that player contacts the ball.
3. Play one more shot, reset, and repeat five times before swapping roles.

Build it Vary the serve's placement. If the return is weak, practice stopping earlier and handling the next shot before advancing again.

Success target 7 of 10 returns in court, with no two-bounce-rule violation and a balanced next contact.

Set up Stand diagonally opposite near the kitchen lines. Choose two generous landing areas in each kitchen; point to them instead of placing objects underfoot.

1. Spend two minutes on one paired target, letting the ball bounce and keeping the pace cooperative.
2. Change the target pair for two minutes, then switch court halves and repeat both pairs.
3. Count the longest rally and note balls that land in the target but sit high enough to attack.

Build it Call the next target before contact, or change placement after four neutral dinks. Keep control before adding pressure.

Success target One rally of 10 controlled dinks from each court half, with at least 6 reaching the chosen areas.

Set up Hitter near the baseline; feeder across the net supplies comfortable bounced forehands. Agree on crosscourt and middle target areas.

1. Turn before the bounce and contact in front. Send five forehands crosscourt at a pace the feeder can handle.
2. Send five toward the middle, then let the feeder call the target before the bounce for another 10.
3. Swap roles after three minutes. Count placement, balance, and readiness for the next ball.

Build it Vary feed depth, then play the reply. For a right-side hitter, add recovery from the forehand sideline toward the agreed seam.

Success target 7 of 10 called targets reached in court while finishing balanced.

Set up Feeder at the kitchen line; hitter starts a few steps behind their own kitchen line. Use the middle of the opposing kitchen as the target.

1. On five comfortable bounced feeds, lift the ball softly into the target kitchen.
2. After 3 of 5 successful drops, move the starting position two steps farther from the net; work toward the baseline.
3. After a good drop, move forward and stop for the feeder's next contact. Swap roles halfway.

Build it Add a deeper feed or forehand/backhand variation. Return to the previous distance if touch disappears.

Success target 3 of 5 drops land in the kitchen and require the feeder to contact below net height at two different starting distances.

Set up Feeder at the kitchen line; hitter in midcourt. Feed at controlled pace with enough spacing to reset between balls.

1. Send five feeds toward the hitter's feet or comfortable reach. The hitter uses a short stroke to soften the reply into the kitchen.
2. After a low reset, take one step forward; stop and prepare as the feeder contacts the next ball.
3. If the reset sits up, hold position and handle the next feed. Swap roles after four minutes.

Build it Vary direction before increasing pace. Add a partner moving beside the hitter once individual control is consistent.

Success target 3 of 5 resets land softly in the kitchen; complete one three-ball forward sequence without a rushed contact.

Set up A doubles pair near the kitchen line faces one or two cooperative feeders. Right and left mean the player's view facing the net. Agree who takes the seam, accounting for handedness.

1. Feed five balls toward the right sideline. The right-side player handles the ball while the partner shifts to protect the middle.
2. Feed five middle balls. Use an early 'mine' or 'yours' call and keep the other player available for the next shot.
3. Mix the two locations for 10 feeds, then swap court-side roles. With four players, trade feeding and receiving roles halfway.

Build it Play two follow-up shots after each feed, then add a controlled pace change from the right-side player and cover its counter.

Success target 10 mixed feeds with one clear hitter per ball, no collision, and both players prepared for the reply.

Set up Players at the kitchen lines. Start cooperatively on one court half with two players, or as doubles with four. Agree to controlled pace and the same decision goal.

1. Begin each sequence with three cooperative dinks. The feeder then varies a low ball and a ball that allows a higher, balanced contact.
2. Keep the low ball soft. On a suitable higher ball, choose a controlled speed-up and prepare for the counter; choosing another dink is allowed.
3. Play two more shots, then discuss the decision. Swap the decision-making role after five sequences.

Build it Remove the predictable fourth-feed timing, then use normal points. Score decision quality separately from winning the rally.

Success target 8 of 10 choices suit the contact height and balance, with recovery for the reply and no kitchen fault.
