Forehand over the bar:

A player stands on the baseline, with the target is set on the ad side. The coach throws the ball to the deuce side, and the player hits a forehand over the upper bar. Repeat this process.

Hitting over the net is a priority while learning to play tennis because this factor guarantees proper consistency and ability to develop good strokes. The coach can encourage better kids to hit with topspin.
