- Learn To LOVE The Net in Tennis - Master Your Volleys in 2 Steps
Many tennis players are scared to attack the net due to not having confidence in their volleys. Download our free volley guide here - www.top-tennis-training.com/f...
After watching this tennis volley lesson, that will hopefully change. Finishing off the point at the net is one of the most effective ways to win points in tennis, in both singles and doubles.
How much should you swing on your volleys?
Should you punch at the ball?
These are questions we get asked very often, and so many players struggle to really master their volleys in tennis.
Tennis is a game of time, and when we attack the net, we're taking time away from our opponent, but we're also taking time away from ourselves.
To hit solid volleys in tennis, it's important to understand the swings you should use on your forehand volley and your backhand volley, and that's why we've made this volley lesson.
Less is More
When it comes to hitting effective, solid volleys in tennis, less is more. Many players struggle to hit good volleys because their swings are way too big, which causes issues with timing the volley effectively.
Shortening your backswings will make it much easier for you to time the contact point out in front of your body. Remember, when you're at the net, you have roughly half the time that you normally would on the baseline.
The distance from your opponent to you is cut drastically, so the ball reaches you much faster. It's very important to be aware of this and act accordingly.
Think Feet, Not Hands
Great volleyers cover the net with ease, and a big part of that comes down to the footwork patterns they use. Try to step out with the outside foot, and step into the ball with the inside foot. On the forehand volley, for a right-handed tennis player, this would mean you're stepping out initially with your right foot, then stepping into the volley with your left foot.
Where To Aim?
In general, you'll hit your first volley around the service line or just inside the boxes. It's hard to finish the point from there, so it's a good idea to plan for two volleys. Use the first volley as a second approach shot, and mainly aim that first volley down the line or down the middle of the court.
Then with the second volley, close down on the net and use the width of the court to end the point.

Thanks coach Simon for this incredible coaching your videos has improved my tennis level a lot I'm getting better day after day I've grew up watching your videos and now I'm turning a pro..
Cheers and thank you (:
Great to hear and thanks for the support. Keep working hard 💪
Hello Simon, can you please make a video on how to volley properly vs a good passing shoot ? For example, my approach shoot was not good enough and the opponent got to the ball with good balance and in good condition to hit a good passing shoot, how should I behave on the net when this happens ? Cheers
As always too good !
Simon I love your tennis technique a bit like GOAT Federer which for me is unique.
Many thanks for the support 🙏
Still the best tennis channel - keep it up:))

I feel like there is already great content on your channel on improving one’s game, so hard to say, but would always welcome a video on your personal opinions of the right string and tension for your type of racquet/type of player? @@TopTennisTrainingOfficial
Great lesson
Many thanks 🙏

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Simon Alex. I'm an intermediate lclub level player in USA. I am on a men's team, we match play against other clubs. What's the right mixture of drills, point play, of court training, diet, fitness etc.? What's an appropriate weekly schedule for example? I'm doing physio 4x/week and on court 2-3x/week. I have a job and children so cannot train daily but I can do some fitness daily at least. Can you perhaps make a video or series on this? I can already hit a decent groundstroke, volleys, overheads and all 3 serves with placement. Thanks
what type of racket makes us good at playing volley in front of the net.. and what about exchange grip,in doubles we usually swap between a baseliner and volleyer
What is the correct grip in volley?
It's a bit of a stretch but someday you guys should collab with Karue from My Tennis HQ! I'd love to see a set between Alex and Karue!
Who knows what the future holds
Yes, instruction wise and coaching style to me the best channels. I never thought on Karue vs either Alex or Simon but both would be fun!
I guess the other side of the equation is advanced volleying like stop or drop volleys placing the racket farther back and not in front a ‘la Mcenroe’?
excellent video! please look into normalizing your audio levels. the automatic levels on your mic are making a mess because the wind will peak and then your voice is super quiet relatively. thanks for the great instruction!
Sorry about the audio, I filmed this lesson on my phone with no mic.
We normally have a proper set up but that day I was traveling and filmed a few lessons before my flight
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial oh that makes sense! Surprisingly good quality considering. Happy to have the video regardless.
Can you make a much needed video of how to tell if a ball is in or out? I think many people don't know there is a surface area that hits the ground, not the entire ball counts and please explain the consequences of making bad calls and having a cheater reputation.
Which racquet is Simon holding on the grass court.
I'm curious, someone knows?
An old school pro kennex
Thank you, which year of manufacture?
Where do you coach simon?
Mainly online now and we do our TTT clinics and camps
I am scared at the net, i might get hit HAHHAHA
🤣
Do you guys believe that there’s a level we’re serve and volley doesn’t work anymore?
No, serve and volley can and does work at any level if done correctly. It's not possible to S & V against Rafa on clay and expect to win, but you can always mix it up and throw off the opponent by using it at times on slower courts and you can use it more often on faster surfaces
FIRST
You're fast
Great lesson as always Simon. Your videos have helped me transition to being a much better player. I’ve been following your videos for a few years and am planning on breaking through to 4.0 this year. Cheers and thank you! : )
That’s great to hear Colin.

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I'm working hard at developing a better kick serve but placement is still and issue. A video on kick serve drills for placement and how to mix it up with slice serve would be helpful. I know you've covered these in past videos but maybe one that incorporated all three strategically would be great. Thanks!
works great against anyone 4.0 and below who has weak passing shots. 6-0 easy. 5.0 or higher cant go to net every point have to pick your spots. thats where i just grind it out using drops shots moon balls or slice i like to use junk ball tactics just to mess with peoples heads keep them off balance. i am all court style player i never panic cause worse case i can just win on stamina alone and rallying so i minus well practice my serve and volley as a plan A tactic then junk ball them a little just to practice everything i can in one set because often they dont wanna play a 2nd set after losing 6-0 in the first.
Mix and match for sure
