Short serve forward entry — Two-server alternating read

Start behind the three-metre line and attack the short ball into zone 3 without lunging on the last step.

Applied training constraint: Alternate service origins between zones 1 and 5; receiver reads source before split step.

Family mode: use a safe space, reduce intensity and consult a coach to scale technical movements to the child’s age.

03 · On-court execution
  1. Start behind the three-metre line and attack the short ball into zone 3 without lunging on the last step.
  2. Alternate service origins between zones 1 and 5; receiver reads source before split step.
  3. Split, step, stop and angle the shoulders toward target.
  4. Log each repetition according to this measure: Record correct first-step direction and pass quality separately.
04 · Suggested training dose

24 minutes

8 balls in the starting series, with rest adjusted to quality and player level.

05 · Measured success criterion

Record correct first-step direction and pass quality separately.

Record attempts, success and errors; do not infer progress from volume alone.

06 · Safety and adaptation

Scale workload, speed and distance to ability; stop whenever execution or safety deteriorates.
