DESCRIPTION

Player runs and hits the ball on the run in cross court direction. players then have to run around the court, this makes the shot more important as less hitting is involoved Players hitting into wrong zones will be pusnished by the amount shown on diagram (punishment is of what coach asks)

COACHING POINTS

Hitting on the run is one of the most difficult strokes in tennis. Being in the motion and controlling the racquet are skills that have to be practiced to bring effective results. Additionally, placement of the ball is primary because we have to remember that after the shot we will be positioned well behind the sideline which gives our opponent an easy opportunity to hit a winner to the open court. Explain to players that depth in cross court direction are things that they should look for to guarantee the best chances to stay in the point.
