Recognising where the ball is going to land

This Session, full of original exercises and drills to help improve your coaching, works on your players' ability to Read the Ball and keep your players really motivated at training!

When you watch your players play are they constantly having to react at the last minute? Struggling to get into position to play their next shot? If so their ability to read the game and anticipate where the ball is going to bounce could be lacking!

To develop your players' ball judgement skills to get them in the correct position for their next shot we've split the session into three clearly divided sections. After starting with a fun no racquets warm-up, followed by a running game of hot potato you will see your players rallying co-operatively as they run around the court and attempt to hone their ball reading skills.

Even the players who are temporarily waiting on the sidelines can get involved in the drills - as they run up and down the lines, acting as linesman to see how accurate their fellow players are at anticipating where the next ball is going to land!
