There is so much more to the backhand than your players know and this session looks at improving your player’s technique in a number of different technical areas. Teach your players how to successfully use topspin when hitting the backhand, as well as developing the extension of the groundstroke. Topspin in particular is an important aspect to the modern game and is required by your player to keep up with the speed of the game. Hit with full speed and catch the opposition off guard!
What’s in the Session?
We start off by getting your players warmed up and raring for action, before moving onto improving their extension with a simple drill. We continue by developing your players’ technique, improving their topspin shot and then finishing off by working on the technical aspects to the backhand. All of these simple drills will go a long way to helping your player succeed out on the court!
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.
