Want a taster of what's in this session which you do right now? Well try this simple co-ordination test: can you rub your stomach with one hand whilst tapping the top of your head with the other?
Obviously in this session we go a lot further than simply asking your players to tap their heads and rub their stomachs but the concept is still the same - getting players to truly concentrate whilst ignoring distractions - using their full field of vision to their advantage.
We then go on to add an element of competition to the games in this session - in doing this you should be able to see your players improving their footwork and effort levels in an attempt to win the point, score the longest rally and beat their previous performances!
Indoor courts give players less time and less room. Help them sharpen their split step, shorten their swing and stay calm, and winter becomes a season of real progress.
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.
