Judging Approach?

Which drills would recommend to work on judging the pace and speed of a ball coming across the net? Which drills would you suggest that would teach a player how to judge the height, speed and pace of a ball coming across the net and move into position to time the return in the proper position.Thanks

Child with finals nerves?

Last weekend my 10 years old daughter participated in a tennis tournament.Although she reached the final and the game was set at 14%3A30 pm, when we got to the court she started complaining about her belly. She said that had a bellyache and she could not play. The doctor didn’t find anything wrong, but he told me that he could not let her play.When we went back she was fine.How do you cope with this situation. I did not say anything to her. I told her that I would like to discuss it with her when she will be ready.Thank you for listening. submitted by email

Passing shot drill for four or five players.

Is there a drill to involve four or five players to teach a passing shot? Situation would be opponent at or approaching the net and plays a poor approach.

How to Improve Error Detection and Correction

HI there,I am an assistant coach for a small tennis academy. It has been 2.5 years since I’ve started. I do not have any certification of being a coach but I was a state player(representing my state) back when I was a player in high school. The only knowledge/experience I have as a tennis player was from when I had training back then and even so it was limited. A big issue/challenge I am facing right now is error detection and correction. I realized I am unable to identify the problems of my players which is beyond the obvious and I tend to correct the effect of the problem instead of the root cause of it. i believe what I don’t have is a coach eye, I was wondering if you have some kind of materials or course or even guidance on that matter. I am really keen on improve that part of me. I feel like that part is holding me back as I can give an accurate correction to my players which then hinders my player’s improvement. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
