Sportplan has been very helpful in guiding me through my first year as a High School Coach.
How to get confidence in putting the ball away on a short ball??? The girl I teach puts the ball excellent away in practices but in matches she loses her confidence and the on the short ball she just rally it back to her opponent. What can I do?????
...where it will list and describe playing terminology such as shave, tackle-back, steal, forehand.
I am interested in finding some drills that will teach hitting short to one side of the court, followed by a long deep shot to the other side.
was just looking to see if anyone has any short term planning/ ideas for deliveringtennis to KS1 and KS2 children-mixed ability ?

Hello, my school pays an annual subscription. Some of our new starters have signed up and initially have unlimited access. After a short period of time their access is restricted. Any help would be much appreciated.

My daughter plays competitive tennis and is capable of hitting hard. but her natural go to is to "push balls"- softhitting unless constantly reminded to hit hard. this is really confusing to me as there aim of the game is to out play your opponent.any one else see this and could provide advise please.

Psychology in tennis HELP!!! I have a daughter who is an excellent player who only started playing tennis seriously last yr at the age of 13. She is a much better player than all the people she has completed against in matches but always loses due to over hitting and getting upset if the wrong call is made (which happens frequently due to how fast she hits and serves) do we need some sort of psychological help for this. what is the best way to get this... books, councilling ??? any help would be most appreciated thanks
Helo, my name is Fernando, I am a Spanish tennis teacher who started teaching six months ago. I am working in a public sportcenter and I am having some problems with adults. When I started I realiced that the students were used to playing tennis without any control. Young students told me that the other teacher only used to leave them play - he rarely explained them how to hit the ball. Consequently the do enjoy my clases and they are learning a lot and impoving their level of tennis. So far so good, but the problem is that with the adults I have the impression that they don´t like my clases. In fact some of them left the group at the begining. I try to mix different kinds of drills during the class and I usually finish it with a game like for example 21, winner........ But it seems that they don´t enjoy it. During the exercises most of them don´t try to do what I tell them. As a result, they don´t have a good level of tennis. But as far as I know, the other teacher was a tennis player who uses to play against them during the clases. As this is my first time teaching tennis, I don´t fell confidence and that is the reason whay I do´t like to play against them. Appart from that I think that this is not my role as a teacher. So I would like you to tell me how to deal with that situation. I don´t care if they leave me because this is not going to affect my job, but i wouldn´t like them to leave just because I like tennis and I like teaching tennis. Thank you very much for your help. I am sorry for my English. Best wishes!!!!
I would like to add permanent lines for Under 10 tennis and am wondering if anyone has any experience doing this and can help me avoid problems with adult members?
Four technical nightmares creep into club tennis every season. Here are the drills that banish them for good.
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.
