Bill Mountford demonstrates an innovative way to teach the game that focuses less on structured technique and more on athletic movement--what he calls "guided discovery"--through playing the game. Mountford demonstrates this coaching style through a series of "play-based" drills that can be used to improve overall performance and improve specific skill areas. Mountford demonstrates twelve drills that can be modified to develop specific areas of the game. Each drill is designed to aid different areas of the game such as foot movement, closing in on the net, teamwork, quick volleys, shot selection, ball judgment, ball tracking, and fast movement dynamics. Each drill is competitive and fast-paced enough to condition players during each practice. Mountford's practice drills provide a useful resource that will allow players at all levels to learn to hit every shot!
