This drill focuses on soft, controlled shots over the net (dinks) to improve touch and patience. Both players are at the non-volley zone line, softly hitting the ball back and forth, aiming for the opponent's feet or open space. 

One of the most important shots in pickleball, this drill practices a soft shot from the baseline that arcs over the net and lands in the opponent's kitchen. One player is at the baseline, the other is at the kitchen line. The baseline player hits a drop shot, and the net player returns it.

This drill improves reaction time and hand speed. Two players at the kitchen line hit the ball back and forth without letting it bounce. The goal is to keep the rally going at a fast pace. 

This drill isolates the first two shots of a point. One player practices their serve from the baseline, and the other player practices their return. They should switch roles after a set number of serves.  

This drill is for defending against hard shots. One player (the "feeder") hits hard, low shots (drives) at the other player, who is at the kitchen line. The defender's goal is to softly "reset" the ball into the opponent 

An "Erne" is an advanced shot where a player jumps over the non-volley zone (the kitchen) and hits the ball out of the air before landing out of bounds. The drill involves practicing this jump and timing to legally hit the ball before your feet touch the ground inside the kitchen. 

The "ATP" is a spectacular shot where a player hits the ball around the net post and into the opponent's court, without the ball ever crossing over the net. This drill focuses on recognizing the opportunity, moving quickly to the sideline, and executing the precise, low-angle shot.  

This drill is about discipline and court awareness. The goal is to recognize when an opponent's shot is hit too hard or too high and will likely land out of bounds. Instead of reflexively trying to hit it, you calmly let it go, winning the point without having to make a difficult return. 

A lob is a high, arcing shot that goes over your opponent's head and lands deep in their court. This drill focuses on executing this shot, which is a great defensive tool to push your opponents back from the kitchen line or an offensive weapon to catch them off guard when they are close to the net.
