Cross-Step Recovery & One-Foot Volley Drill (Age 7)

In this focused drill, Gabrijel learns how to retreat from the net using cross steps and immediately come forward for a volley with a one-foot landing — a key skill for maintaining balance and precision in fast-paced net play.

This movement requires coordination, timing, and strong lower-body control, and is usually taught at much older stages. At just 6 years and 8 months, Gabrijel is already starting to form these advanced habits.

📌 Drill Focus:

  • Retreating with cross steps from the net

  • Re-approach with split step and forward momentum

  • Executing a volley with one-foot landing to simulate game-like pressure
