Tennis: Approach and Close

Sportplan has been very helpful in guiding me through my first year...
Bill, Newly qualified coach

DESCRIPTION


The coach feeds into the service area.
-Before the coach feeds Player 1 has to nominate the corner into which they hit their approach shot.
-Player 1 plays an approach shot Player 2 has to hit down the line, Player 2 then finishes the rally at the net.

COACHING POINTS

  • Encourage Player 1 to close down the net as much as possible especially on their second volley
  • Player 2 has to recover quickly after their first attempted passing shot.
  • More advanced players may approach without nominating a corner to hit into.
