Partner Serving 

Purpose: 

Ball control and maintain focus with distractions 

What You Need: 

• Have your players each find a partner
• Give each pair one ball
• Each pair will divide up on opposite service lines, across from their partner

How it Works:

1. On the whistle, the players with the ball all to their partners
2. Ideally, the partner will catch the serve and then complete a good serve back to their partner
3. Continue back and forth serving for a set time limit or until each player has served at least 10 times

Results & Tips: 

• Some serves will fly astray toward other players and that’s ok, this is part of the drill, it forces players to be aware of their surroundings and still focus on succeeding at their serve
• This drill is an opportune time to correct bad technique amongst players, spend time watching each player and don’t hesitate to pull players aside or spend more time with those that need more help
