Abstract: A tennis teaching aid for use in instructing tennis players in multiple areas of the game, those areas being: (1) teaching a player how to volley(hit balls in the air close to the net) more effectively by limiting reaction time thus forcing a player to use a more efficient stroke, (2) drastically improve eye-hand coordination through the skill required to meet the ball as it returns rapidly to the face of the string bed of the racquet (3) increase all-around skill by increasing the number of repetitions by which a player contacts the ball. The device includes an enclosed net in which a normal tennis ball can be inserted. The net is tethered to the racquet by means of an elastic cord. The connection to the racquet string bed is accomplished by a plurality of separate hooks that are attached to respective elastic chords. These chords are attached to the main elastic chord which leads to the enclosed net which houses the tennis ball.
