Here, the players rep a common and useful beach shot – the deep rainbow. Same format as the previous drill – serve, pass, set, hit. In this drill, the passer is on the left and hitting a cross-court rainbow, but the drill can also be done with the passer on the right.

A teaching point from Holly McPeak here is to approach and jump like you’re going to hit hard, then hit the loopy shot with only a hand motion. That keeps the defense thinking that you may swing away.
