Tie a knot in a resistance band so that there is a hoop at one end big enough to fit around a person.
Fasten the resistance band to the net post. Have the player step into the hoop.
Walk out until it is stretched.
Lunge forward towards the net post, then push off back to standing and use the other leg. Hands stay on the hips, can't use them for drive out of the lunge.
Indoor courts give players less time and less room. Help them sharpen their split step, shorten their swing and stay calm, and winter becomes a season of real progress.
A tiebreak is a short sprint where every point is worth the same as a break of serve. The players who win them are rarely the ones who hit hardest. Here is how to coach the patterns, habits and scoreboard thinking that win the big points.
Most club players practise the serve on its own and then have no idea what to do with the ball that comes back. Serve plus one is the pattern that turns a good serve into a won point.
