This week we're teaching juniors how to master one of the most important parts of the game - the serve!
All young players need to be taught how to serve correctly as it is a fundamental of tennis, and if they learn how to master this at a young age, then they can progress with other parts of their game.
With superb video drills and fun games, this session is aimed to get youngsters to enjoy themselves while learning how to start games correctly. Considering players will spend half of the game serving, it is rather important that they learn how to do this at a young age.
What's in the Session?
We start with a fun warm up that soon develops into working on technique. Players are taught correct positioning and where they should be throwing the ball up to get maximum spin from the serve. We continue to teach players body positioning with a fun game, before finishing with a challenging kick serve drill.
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.
