This week we're helping your players improve the consistency and placement of their backhand strokes.
Players often have weaker backhands than forehands, so it is important that players regularly work on this to stop it becoming a weakness in their game.
What's in the Session?
Packed with great live ball drills, we start with a fun drill that uses the doubles alley as a target before working on hitting strokes from different parts of the court (deep, middle and short). Drills also cover controlling direction, recovering quickly and opening up the court by using the angle.
A tiebreak is a short sprint where every point is worth the same as a break of serve. The players who win them are rarely the ones who hit hardest. Here is how to coach the patterns, habits and scoreboard thinking that win the big points.
Most club players practise the serve on its own and then have no idea what to do with the ball that comes back. Serve plus one is the pattern that turns a good serve into a won point.
Wimbledon has just crowned another champion, and if you watched closely you saw the same thing every year: the best returners quietly won the tournament. Here is how to coach a return that pressures the server rather than just surviving it.
