BUILD YOUR
BETTER GAME.

Choose the problem you actually see

Think about your last game. Missed serves and returns point toward consistency. Dinks that float invite soft-game practice. Getting caught between baseline and kitchen calls for drops, resets, and stopping at opponent contact. Attacks that come back faster than you can recover suggest working on when to speed up. Choose one theme for the week instead of switching after every bad rally.

Use the same drills across the week

In the first session, use cooperative feeds and record how many of ten attempts meet a broad target. In the next session, repeat the baseline, then add one variable such as direction or depth. In a later game, use the cue only when its situation appears. The planner suggests two, three, or four sessions according to your selected experience; spread them around your schedule and adjust volume to your comfort.

Make each time block concrete

For a ten-minute session, the three blocks receive four, three, and three minutes. Read the linked lesson for contact cues, common misses, and the purpose of each drill. Use Kitchen Lab when you want fuller feeding instructions and a block timer. Warm up before beginning focused repetitions and take breaks as needed rather than rushing to finish a prescribed count.

Know what to change next week

If target hits improve during drills but disappear in games, add decision-making feeds before adding speed. If the same miss persists even with an easy feed, revisit contact point and footwork in the lesson. Keep one short note after each session: successful attempts, the common miss, and the cue that helped. Your next plan should follow that evidence.
