Purpose: Series of progression drills for the groundstroke for kids. Description: For younger kids use smaller rackets and foam or low compression balls. Start by pairing your players and having them stand facing each other about two meters. One player starts with a self-hit about head high tapping it to their partner who catches the ball. That player then hands the ball back to the hitter and the sequence is continued. You can place throw down lines down for the players to stand behind before the sequence is started and eventually players switch positions. Safety: Ensure players are well spread out.
