This is exactly what this session does, getting your players to play a lot of points within a short space of time in a fun, physically demanding and competitive games based environment. Your players will play the first shot that comes into their head and thus you will be able to coach the results, reinforcing good shot selection and encouraging players to try different tactics when faced with a particular type of ball.
To get them doing this we start with a tag doubles drill - players take it in turns to play out a point in this first 11 points game, if they win they stay on the court to play the other player in the opposite pair, but they only stay on for a maximum of 3 points.
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.
