Gets your players to play lots of points within a short space of time with this plan; ideal for players with a tennis competition coming up. We start with restricted games, allowing players to think about a specific tactic, and lead into unrestricted points - where anything goes.
Tennis can be a very long game and requires concentration, stamina and skill (who can forget the Wimbledon 2010 Isner v Mahut match, lasting 11 hours and 5 minutes!)
This match lasted as long as it did because both players were playing the game one shot at a time!
What's in the Session?
Designed to work several players at once this rallying session will really get your players working and thinking hard! - By imposing restrictions on some of these games and not on others you can encourage players to stop and think about how they are playing the game and whether they might be more successful if they adopted a different strategy.
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.
Wimbledon has just crowned another champion, and if you watched closely you saw the same thing every year: the best returners quietly won the tournament. Here is how to coach a return that pressures the server rather than just surviving it.
