So when we say Advanced Rallying what do we mean?
Well, we're talking about getting your players to hit the ball deep, vary their shot selection and wait for the right moment to move forwards and attack the short ball - plus with more advanced players you can challenge them to vary their shots by changing the spin, speed, and trajectory on the ball!
To get your players working hard and playing intelligently we open with a rotation-based rallying drill, where each player must concentrate and rally for one minute before being substituted (whilst the point is still being played). We then move onto a tramline rallying accuracy drill - But can your players keep the ball between the lines to win the game?
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.
