Tie a resistance band to a pole about 2m long and tie the other end to the net post.
Player stands holding the pole about shoulder height with the hand closest to the band in the middle and the other out to the side.
Slowly rotate the pole each way so that each arm faces out to the side.
When rotating towards the side with the band attached bend the outside leg down and in and then straighten when rotating back.
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.
