Tennis: Using Forehand as Often as Possible

Your tennis drills are extremely useful coaching tools.
Nail, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

  • Coach feeds a ball to the deuce side. Player hits a forehand down the line.
  • Coach feeds another ball to the center. Player hits an inside out forehand from the center.

COACHING POINTS

  • Player works on moving around the court and using forehands from different areas. Too many times players lose initiative during the point because they don't use their strengths as often as it is possible.
  • While playing from the center players should try to hit forehands to put pressure on the rival and minimise the risk of making errors at the same time.
  • For more advanced players coach can make sets longer to see how well players control the shots and movement while becoming tired.

Players are playing doubles points from the hand in pairs.

The pair who wins the point moves to the service line which is their starting position for the next point. Should they win the point from this starting position, players score 1 point and get to stay where there are. Should they lose the point from starting on the service line, they must move back to the baseline.
