Drop Zone Touch Challenge
10-20 min Partner Paddles, balls, 2 court markers
Setup
Mark a strip across the kitchen — net to 3 ft into the kitchen — that is the drop zone. Partner feeds easy floaters from the kitchen line.
Drill Instructions
Drop the ball into the zone. 15 reps from the baseline, then 15 from mid-court.
Goal
Hit the drop zone 10 of 15 times from mid-court.
Coach Tip
Visualize the apex of the ball BEFORE you swing — top of the arc just past the net.
Avoid
Dropping the paddle head too early — gives you a low pop-up.
