PracticeBeach Tennis Drills
Five focused drills that build the shots that actually win points on sand.
The fastest way to improve at beach tennis is focused repetition: drill cooperative volley rallies for control, smash-and-lob exchanges for attack and defence, target serving for placement, and movement patterns for sand footwork. Five simple drills, done regularly, build the shots that win points.
Five Drills That Work.
- Cooperative volley rally. rally with a partner aiming for control and a target count. builds the no-bounce touch.
- Smash and lob. one player lobs, the other smashes, then switch. the core attack-defence pattern.
- Target serving. place cones or marks and serve to them. trains placement over power with your one serve.
- Return blocks. a partner serves hard, you block low and controlled. see returning serve.
- Movement ladder. short side-to-side and front-to-back patterns to sharpen sand footwork.
Keep sessions short and focused, and track your match results to see the gains.
