In this plan we work on both attacking groundstrokes and defensive shots to get you back into the point. While one player works on their power strokes the other player is digging out shots from the death - chipping to keep the point alive!
What's in the Session?
To begin with you can start your budding players with some target practice - where they're allowed to hit the ball as hard as they wish, as long as it lands inside the other side of the court!
Attacking's only half the battle! What do you do if you're on the receiving end of one these rip-roaring shots?
Well to find out how your players cope when they're being put under pressure - whilst one player works on their attacking shots your other players work on recovering these shots - using soft hands and chip shots to get the ball back in the court and keep the rally alive!
