This week's session looks at developing your players' tactical play and their ability to play with and against different game styles.
Through a series of pair rallying drills we challenge one of your players to adopt a new tactic in their game whilst the other player has to become a detective and try to figure out what new tactic or technique is being adopted by their opponent!
By challenging your players to start using a variety of new game styles you will not only be pushing that player outside of their comfort zone, getting them to use different game styles, but you'll also be encouraging both players to think about how they would react if faced in a match with a players who always wants to play a forehand, loves the chip and charge or is a hacker who tries to reach each ball as if their life depended on it!
