Sportplan has been very helpful in guiding me through my first year as a High School Coach.
In Nick Saviano's book, Maximum Tennis, Andre Agassi is said to have a very 'soft' left hand on his backhand, and yet often I hear and read many tips suggesting a very dominant, or active, supporting hand for the two handed backhand. Especially now, with the more semi-open stanced players, what should I suggest when teaching the backhand to developing players?
What practice drill could i use to improve attacking play in tennis for youth players?
I'm a 4.5 player (recovered competitive junior player) ... my parents used to take me out and feed balls to me to work on my strokes ... now that I'm an adult - and living on the opposite coast - I need someone to feed balls to me. How do I teach a non-tennis player to feed balls to me? What grip should I have them use? Where should they feed the ball?
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.
