This week we?re improving your player?s groundstrokes, working on the baseline game while ensuring they learn to recovery quickly and correctly.
Groundstrokes are normally used on baseline rallies, and focus on power and accuracy. That?s why this session works on improving both of these, giving players specific targets to hit using both forehand and backhand groundstrokes.
What's in the Session?
Starting with a quick warm-up, the session then throws your players in at the deep end by immediately testing the accuracy of their groundstrokes by testing them to hit one ball high over the net, and the next ball lower repeatedly using both forehand and backhand. We then look at players recovery habits by getting your players to recover quicker than ever from their serves.
The session then gets players working on consistency through various drills as it ensures your players won?t be beaten on baseline rallies.
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.
