Feed Circuit
Why this drill
Basket feeding is what makes lessons feel like lessons — and any partner can do it. Six stations, twenty balls, every fundamental touched: this is a private lesson's skeleton, free.
Setup
Feeder at the net with a full basket, tossing or hitting easy, consistent feeds. Hitter starts at the baseline center.
The drill
Twenty-ball circuit, in order: four forehands crosscourt, four backhands crosscourt, four alternating corners on the move, three short balls attacked down the line, three volleys, two overheads. Feeder calls each station. Two circuits per player, counting clean, deep balls out of twenty. Then swap — feeding is its own skill and a genuine rest.
One thought to take on court
Treat every fed ball like a rally ball — full recovery steps between shots, or the circuit teaches standing still.
