Tennis: Lunge with resistance band

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

DESCRIPTION

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.

 

COACHING POINTS

  • Posture is important- stay upright, even with the band pulling forwards.
  • Knees at 90°
  • The band will accelerate the lunge and so sticking the front foot firmly and at the right angle is important.
