Drill: 2 points for a passing shot or lob5

Objective:
Improve specific aspects of match play including passing under pressure and pulling your opponent into the net.

Instruction :
Play a set or tiebreaker where the player hitting a passing shot or lob winner is awarded double points.
Look to work at:
· Staying calm under the pressure of net attack and choosing a lob or passing shot · The skill of “dragging” a player to the net – especially if they are an unconfident net player

Details :
Consider matching this variation with #2 “2 points for a net winner” – with two players of different playing styles challenging one another.
