This week we're teaching your players how to properly run around the backhand and take advantage of the forehand.
Most players will be stronger when using their forehand, and most won't realise that they can use it more often than they think! That's why it's important as a coach for you to teach players when they can do this.
What's in the Session?
The session begins with fun warm up drills that get the blood pumping before we move on to teaching your players about the correct footwork and awareness. Players are taught about monitoring their opponents position when hitting a forehand, as this can lead to valuable points. The session is wrapped up with an exciting game working on inside out and in forehands as we work on everything your players have learnt throughout the session.
This really is a session you don't want to miss!
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.
