Tennis: Lower back with weights

Sportplan has been very helpful in guiding me through my first year...
Bill, Newly qualified coach

DESCRIPTION

Player keeps dumbells in front of the body. Player moves dumbells to the ankles while keeping them close to the body. Player uses lower back muscles to come back to the starting position.

COACHING POINTS

In this drill player works on lower back strength. Serve puts a lot of pressure on this area so players have to perform fitness activities based on lower back exercises to improve serving action and avoid injuries. Coach should make sure that players keep the upper body straight to guarantee the best results of this drill.
