Tennis: Serve with tired legs

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

DESCRIPTION

Player performs regular serve. After the serve player jumps sideways over the cones and comes back to the starting position. Player repeats the pattern few times in a row.

COACHING POINTS

Serve is the shot that starts every point so players have to include this skill into every practice session. Simply peforming serves from the basket is a good drill for beginners to learn how to control the ball. On the higher levels players have to be challenged more so serving has to include some obstacles that players have to face.

In this drill player works on serve's consistency. By placing cones and making player jump over them after each serve player has to put a lot of intense effort between each delivery. During the match player's body is on completely different levels at the beginning of the first set in comparison to the match point in the tie-breaker of the third set so players have to learn how to serve well even when body is really tired.
