Tennis: Forehand Attacking

Sportplan has been very helpful in guiding me through my first year...
Bill, Newly qualified coach

DESCRIPTION

Up to 4 players can be involved.

The aim is to encourage players to progressively attack on the move.

Coach feeds 3 balls to each player diagonally across the court. Feed 1 to the centre of the court, feed 2 slightly wider to the centre of the service box, and feed 3 wider towards the tramlines of the court.

Players should use good footwork to get feet in the correct position around the ball to hit an inside out forehand straight back down the court.

The drill should be continuous so as player A hits feed 2, player B is hitting feed 1.

COACHING POINTS

Encourage players to hit the ball on the rise or top of the bounce.

Pay particular attention to correct footwork around the ball.

Players should be looking to return their shots with for depth.
