HOME Tennis Drills Movement

Tennis: Top of the bounce as if your life depends on it!

Thank you very much for the marvellous site.

Nick, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

The coach feeds from the basket at random a selection of four balls for each player.

The player must take every ball at the top of the bounce or on the rise.

If the coach deems that they have not succeeded in doing this they lose a life!

Each player gets 3 lives. The last player standing wins the drill!

COACHING POINTS

Players should get onto the ball as quickly as they can but ensure they complete the shot before looking for the next one.

Be quick, don't rush...

Tennis Football:

Within each zone, there are approximately four people each with a tennis ball which they have to dribble with whilst staying in their zone. The aim is to try and kick the other persons ball out of the zone whilst you keep yours in the zone. The last person in the zone is the winner.

Movement

Swiss Handball:

This game requires two or more teams.

Both teams are trying to place the ball into the opposing team's hoop, however they are not allowed to run with the ball.

On receiving the ball, the player must touch the ground first with the ball and pass it to a team-mate within 3 seconds.

Movement

Two Ball Drill:

Players start on the side of the court and run across where they return the ball from a feeder and continue running to hit another ball before running to the other side of the court, and recovering while walking round the court to join the back of the queue.
