This week we?re improving your player?s groundstrokes, working on the baseline game while ensuring they learn to recovery quickly and correctly.
Groundstrokes are normally used on baseline rallies, and focus on power and accuracy. That?s why this session works on improving both of these, giving players specific targets to hit using both forehand and backhand groundstrokes.
What's in the Session?
Starting with a quick warm-up, the session then throws your players in at the deep end by immediately testing the accuracy of their groundstrokes by testing them to hit one ball high over the net, and the next ball lower repeatedly using both forehand and backhand. We then look at players recovery habits by getting your players to recover quicker than ever from their serves.
The session then gets players working on consistency through various drills as it ensures your players won?t be beaten on baseline rallies.
Tennis demands a unique combination of endurance, power, agility, and flexibility. Physical preparation determines how long careers last and how players perform when it matters most.
Ecological dynamics is transforming tennis coaching. This constraints-led approach develops adaptable, creative players who can solve problems in competition, not just execute drilled patterns.
The one-handed backhand is becoming rare, but when executed well, it remains one of tennis's most elegant and effective shots. Is it a dying art or a tactical advantage?
