Drill

Instructions

1. 1Play out points requiring a minimum of 15 shots before either side can attack.
2. 2Each shot must have a clear purpose: move opponent, open court, or set up attack.
3. 3Call out your shot's intent immediately after hitting it for the first few reps.
4. 4Progress to full-speed play once intent-based shot selection feels automatic.

What to focus on

Every shot serving a tactical purpose instead of just getting the ball back.

Common mistake

Hitting aimless neutral shots with no plan, giving the opponent easy control.
