Baseline Corner Hitting Drill

This drill develops accuracy, consistency, and stamina by forcing one player to hit exclusively into a designated corner while the opponent has full court freedom.

Setup

• Player 1 starts in the middle of the baseline
• Player 2 starts on one side of the baseline (deuce or ad court)

Rules & Objectives

• Player 2 can hit anywhere on the court
• Player 1 must direct all shots only into the corner where Player 2 is standing
• Player 1 focuses on controlled placement, while Player 2 varies shots to make Player 1 move
• After 5 minutes, move Player 2 to the opposite side (ad court) and repeat with the same rules
• Switch roles after 10 minutes so both players practice accuracy and movement

Repetition

Coaching Points

• Improves stamina through constant side-to-side movement
• Sharpens accuracy by restricting shot placement to one target area
• Builds consistency and mental discipline under limited shot options
