Everyone loves going on the offensive, which is why this session gets your players to put some punch in their volleys to put their opponents under pressure!
Volleys are a great way to rush your opponent. Getting players to run towards the net will put pressure on the other player and eliminate the possibility of a difficult bounce from a bad surface.
To help your players improve their first time volley and the sharpness of their second volley (aka the put away volley), this session works on accurate placement and the use of the split-step before the shot which is the basis for all movement and balance around the net.
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.
