Players rally with their partner whilst trying to ignore the other distractions around them (the other players).
Players work in the following pairs: 1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4.
Players work like this for 2 minutes before rotating position, moving to the next position to their left.
Rotate this five times so that each player has had one go in each position.
Volleys should not be winners. Players must keep their eye on the ball at all times.
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.
