Rapid Fire II Rotation Drill

Objective: Improve reaction time, footwork, and shot consistency while keeping
players engaged and hitting lots of balls.

Setup:

• Players form two lines
  behind the baseline (one on the deuce side, one on the ad side).
• Coach or feeder stands at the net
  with a basket of balls.
• Two players start on the
  baseline, ready to hit.

Drill:

1. Coach feeds a ball to the first player in line on
   the deuce side. The player must hit a controlled shot back.
2. As soon as the ball is hit, the
   player sprints to the end of their line, and the next player steps
   in.
3. The coach alternates feeds
   between the deuce and ad sides, keeping the pace fast.
4. Players focus on hitting deep,
   consistent shots while constantly moving in and out.

Variations:

• Forehand & Backhand Focus: Alternate feeds so players hit
  both shots.
• Target Challenge: Players aim for a specific area
  (deep crosscourt, down the line).
• Approach & Volley: After hitting a groundstroke,
  the player must move forward for a quick volley before exiting.
• Doubles Version: Players in pairs—one hits a
  groundstroke, the other volleys, then rotate.

Duration:

• Run the drill for 5-7 minutes,
  then switch roles or modify the challenge.

This keeps players moving non-stop, hitting tons of balls, and staying
engaged while improving consistency and footwork!
