Improves conditioning, movement to the ball and groundstrokes, both crosscourt and down the line. Two players stand on the baseline on one side of the court.
Single players stands on baseline on opposite side of court.
Single player hits ball to deuce side of court, and that player returns it down the line. Single player runs to ball and hits it crosscourt to player on add side, who returns it down the line. Single player runs back across the court and hits the ball crosscourt to player on deuce side, who returns it down the line. This is a great drill for days when one of the players in your doubles group doesn't show up. To vary the drill, have the single person hit down the line and the doubles players hit crosscourt.
