QuickStart Tennis - Ages 9 & 10: Approach Shot & Volley

Celebrate Tennis Month in May with the USTA by getting your children involved with the lifetime sport.

Today, we follow up on the "Approach Shot" technique and add a new element to it - the volley.

Toss a short ball from the opposite side of the net. Players move forward to play the approach shot and then immediately move forward again to achieve a good ready position between the net and service line. The coach tosses a second ball so the player can hit a volley into the open court.

this is not realistic because the coach is throwing the balls from side of the court, it is not realistic that the ball would come from that part of the court. The coach should stand somewhere on the court not outside of court
