Scatter some cones (divots) across the area, some the right way up, and some upside down. Split the group into two teams - 'Hackers and Greenkeepers' - and spread them out across the area.
On the word 'Go' the Hackers run round turning the divots upside down and the Greenkeepers must turn them the right way up.
After a set period of time, count the divots to see how many are the right way up and how many are upside down.
Change the teams round and start again.
Progression:
Easier: Reduce the distance between the divots.
Harder: Increase the distance between the divots.
Tennis demands a unique combination of endurance, power, agility, and flexibility. Physical preparation determines how long careers last and how players perform when it matters most.
Ecological dynamics is transforming tennis coaching. This constraints-led approach develops adaptable, creative players who can solve problems in competition, not just execute drilled patterns.
The one-handed backhand is becoming rare, but when executed well, it remains one of tennis's most elegant and effective shots. Is it a dying art or a tactical advantage?
