The coach stands just inside the service line having a basket of balls to feed from. On the opposite side, players line up behind the baseline.
Drill:
The coach feeds 3 balls to each player (beginning with first in line) as follows:
1. A deep ball to player’s forehand side
2. A short ball (drop-shot) to player’s backhand side
3. A lob over player’s head, which should be hit after the ball bounces.
The player will then move to the end of the line leaving the court for the next one to take his turn (see graphic below)
Tennis demands a unique combination of endurance, power, agility, and flexibility. Physical preparation determines how long careers last and how players perform when it matters most.
Ecological dynamics is transforming tennis coaching. This constraints-led approach develops adaptable, creative players who can solve problems in competition, not just execute drilled patterns.
The one-handed backhand is becoming rare, but when executed well, it remains one of tennis's most elegant and effective shots. Is it a dying art or a tactical advantage?
