Drill of the Month - DoC567 Closing Volleys Play (Reverse feeds)

This is the live ball progression drill for closing volleys.  Start with two players on each side of the net and the extra team positioned with a player at each net post.  The pro will stand to one side and start the point with a reverse feed (bouncing the ball on his side first creating topspin and angles).  All balls must be played in the air.  After the point ends either from a missed volley, a winning volley or a ball not being hit in the air the losing team rotates out with each player going to a net post and the new team rotates in.  The players from the winning team will switch sides with each other and a new point begins. 
Variations: play until a team reaches a certain score.  Rotate teams after two mistakes instead of a single mistake.
