Tennis: Short rally with footwork

Thank you very much for the marvellous site.
Nick, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

  • Coach and player rally together using backhand strokes from service line.
  • Player has to run around the cone after every hit.

COACHING POINTS

In this drill player works on consistency and footwork at the same time. By running around the cone player improves speed, strength, endurance and proper focus. Many players are able to be consistent when they are not tired but real tennis demands from players to be able to play well especially at the end of the second or third second. Inability to maintain high quality of backhand while being tired can cost players lost matches because they will lose deciding points in the final set.
