EXERCISE.

In this exercise, we will try to speed up the movements so that the responsiveness movement was even faster and thus, hit more balls and avoid only blocks.

In this case, we did for two against one, but it can be done as one against one and two against two.

The biggest problem by the time of doing the volley is:

• To choose properly the stroke and place.
• To move quickly.
• To have the shot mechanized to do it without thinking about it.
• To maintain the intensity and concentration to be always active.

The idea is to exit close to the lateral fence and that the players walk to the opposite fence doing the volley. This can be repeated according to the level of the players.

To take into account:

1. Racket ahead and chest-high.
2. After each stroke, we have to be facing.
3. We have to try to do the volley looking for the ball and not waiting for it.
4. We have to try to hit and play the ball to the opponent´s body.
5. Maximum intensity of feet.
6. Extreme focusing. (Because there is much difference if we do it completely or not).

Due to the fact that in padel the volley is very important, we must not only do baskets to mechanize shots but also look for situations that force us to do these shots in real situations like, for example, “volley duels”.

It is not necessary that the duels were of many balls, but we need to know how to act in that situation since if we have to do the volley in one or two balls in those duels, it is important to be in the situation of responsiveness according to where we are.

I hope clarify doubts and that you practice it.

Comment, share and train.

Greetings and to the next post.
