Teacher feeds the ball, however the student must shout out when they are about to split step (which would be just before the teacher feeds the ball).
Ball is hit to centre of court and student makes a low forehand volley to the target before returning to the line.
Concentrate on stopping for split step and controlling the volley.
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.
