In the dynamic game of Tennis Targets, players are encouraged to enhance their groundstroke precision. The setup involves placing cones or hoops on both sides of the tennis net, creating a series of targets for players to aim at. The primary goal is to strike these targets with a variety of groundstrokes, challenging players to refine their accuracy and control. This drill is not only fun but also instrumental in improving a player's tactical play and stroke execution under different scenarios on the court.

To further advance the difficulty and skill level, the progression of the exercise extends the playing area to the baseline while maintaining the game within a half court setting. This additional challenge requires players to adjust their power and timing to accurately hit the targets from a greater distance. As players continue to practice with these extended targets, they develop a stronger sense of spatial awareness and learn to calibrate their shots more effectively, both of which are critical skills for competitive tennis play.
