15-ball plus and minus - All levels

Purpose:

A goal-oriented drill to develop consistency, direction and control.

Description:

1. Instructor feeds balls to “A.” Each good shot by “A” is a plus; each miss is a minus. Add or subtract 1 point for each good shot or miss.

2. Instructor controls feeds and can call “A’s” shots, e.g., crosscourt, beyond the service line, down the line, etc.

3. Play until “A” accumulates 15 points.

Options:

1. With beginners, points can be accumulated for making contact or hitting the ball over the net.

2. Can be done with a second player so both can work on consistency, direction and control.
