Lean & Mean 

Purpose: 

To put pressure on the players and force them to have a positive mentality to finish the drill as a team 

What You Need: 

• Have all your players line up on the same service line on one side of the court 
• Give each player 2 balls 
• Have all coaches on the other side of the court

How it Works:

1. On the whistle, all players will serve their balls at will 
2. The coaches will count and keep track of which balls are served in and which are served out 
3. Each in-bounds ball counts as 1 point for the team 
4. Each served out-of-bounds is negative 10 points 
5. As a group, the team has to reach a total of 25 points 
6. The only other way the drill ends is If they hit negative 50 points and then there’s a punishment that follows

Results & Tips: 

• Remind your players that they need to encourage their teammates during the drill. 
• It is a team-oriented exercise and can be a mental challenge for players who struggle with serving
• The oints system can be adjusted according to the teams skill level
