Video Transcript

"OK, in this drill I'm going to feed Gary either a drop shot or a boast and he can hit, he has to hit every ball back to me. So it's, that's why it's called a half court diagonal game. So everything has to come back to me on this diagonal or this straight shot. So it's a really good workout for the front court player because they have to watch, I can start adding a little bit of deception with my drop or my boast so he has to be able to cover the whole court. So let's see how we do on this. So Gary now has to cover the boast and I drop shot it. So as he can see I can run him a little bit. So now he's got to cover the boast and I can go with the drop, another drop, a boast, a drop. So I get to work on all my touch shots and Gary gets to work on hitting his drives and his crosscourt. Nope, that wasn't so good. That was tough. And you can make a game out of this, we can play points. Good get Gary. And see how he efficiently covers the whole court with a nice lunge. Now that was tough. I drop shot him again but he might get mad and pound one at me. Alright, so that's the diagonal half court game.
