Offence- defence

Thank you very much for the marvellous site.
Nick, Tennis coach

DESCRIPTION

Coach feeds the ball from behind the baseline to one side only. Both teams start at baseline. Team that wins the point then will start on service line.If that same team wins the next point then they are awarded major point. They keep starting on service line if winning.If they lose they back paddle to baseline and the other team starts on service line. Major points can only be scored after starting from service line. Play first to 7 then change ends.

Variation: instead 2 stages ( baseline, service line) , set up 3 stages : baseline-service line- half way between service line and net. Can only score when starting from the closest stage to the net. Players either move one stage up if win or one stage down if lose.

COACHING POINTS

- players need to keep facing net when moving forward or back

- coach regulates intensity by feeding shortly after point is finished

- encourage moving forward as a unit/ team

-" follow the ball " to the net
