In this Session we work on giving your players plenty of time to practice a variety of returns which they can use during Doubles Play.
We work on getting players to move to the ball and take responsibility for their side of the court - to do this players start on their own, working within a quarter area of the court. As the session progresses we get players pairing up for a conditioned game which rewards skilful shot play!
Strategy, communication and understanding are key elements needed for a successful doubles pairing - this can only be learnt over time and through practice, so the more time your players get to work together the better for their doubles play.
