Place a cone in the middle of the court, half way between the base line and sevice line.
Coach rallies with the players through the center of the court.
The player should be aiming to volley the ball back so it lands as close to the cone as possible. This is to encourage the deep court volley.
This exercise goes through the center to eliminate wide mistakes so players will hit successful shots more often.
While working with live ball, coach should make sure that new skills are practiced in the situation that brings a lot of positives.
If players can't rally together, coach can take spot on the baseline to deliver consistent balls and players can rotate after few shots.
Indoor courts give players less time and less room. Help them sharpen their split step, shorten their swing and stay calm, and winter becomes a season of real progress.
A tiebreak is a short sprint where every point is worth the same as a break of serve. The players who win them are rarely the ones who hit hardest. Here is how to coach the patterns, habits and scoreboard thinking that win the big points.
Most club players practise the serve on its own and then have no idea what to do with the ball that comes back. Serve plus one is the pattern that turns a good serve into a won point.
