4 pairs of cones are set around the player (back, right, left, front). The player runs to the first pair of cones and cross the line between the cones with the right leg. The player returns to the center and repeat this movement to the rest of cones
In this drill, the player works on few aspects at the same time. Speed and agility are improved by running to the cones and quickly changing direction. Additionally, using only right leg to cross the line will help to improve loading of this leg and sharp recovery e.g from the open stance forehand.
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.
