All Around The Court (drill)

In this drill, Player A begins at the baseline while Player B positions themselves at the kitchen line. Player B initiates the point by feeding the ball in, giving Player A the option to execute either a drop shot or a drive, depending on the focus of practice. Once the point concludes, the sequence repeats, but now Player A starts from mid-court. Following this point, Player A advances to the kitchen for a dink off. The series cycles back to the baseline to restart the drill. When practicing with two players, the court is divided in half, allowing shots to be directed either straight ahead or cross-court.

To add a competitive element, utilize rally scoring with the goal of reaching 11 points before swapping roles. Additionally, players can earn a bonus point if they successfully transition from the baseline or mid-court to the kitchen. 

This drill effectively replicates various court areas and shot types encountered in pickleball matches. Its structured progression ensures players do not become fixated on a single court section, aiding in developing a versatile skill set applicable to different match scenarios.
