Tennis: Forehand/Backhand Across the Baseline

Thanks for everything! Sportplan has helped me to improve my tennis...
Andrea, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

Coach, 2 players, and a basket of tennis balls.

Players 1 and 2 start off on the baseline, and each work on half a court.

Coach feeds balls for the players to play deep forehand shots moving across the baseline, in their half of the court.

Coach then feeds balls for the players to move back across the baseline, and play deep backhand shots.

Drill continues until basket of balls runs out.

COACHING POINTS

Quick feet to recover to the starting position.

Ball to be hit on the top of the bounce.

Racket head to be in the correct position to ensure ball clears the net with depth.
