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.
