Wall Slip Head Movement Tennis Ball Drill

Stand with your back toward a wall in an athletic boxing stance while a partner throws a tennis ball directly at your head, slipping cleanly off the centerline to avoid contact.

Key points

  • Maintain a tight high guard with your chin tucked while tracking the throw
  • Slip by bending at the knees and rotating the shoulders just enough to clear the ball
  • Keep movements minimal and sharp; avoid over-slipping off balance

Common mistakes

Blinking, flinching, or closing eyes when the ball is thrown directly toward the face.
