opponent's. Match tactics become more important to the individual and their
style of play. The coach and player work together on this and encourage lots of
rally and game based drills within the course. Cost: $60, Duration: 6, 1 hour
sessions.
TRAIN YOUR
GAME:
Consistency and
placement are the two biggest keys to tennis. Being able to
control the ball over the net and into a part of the court is what the
game is all about.
Try this drilling
exercise to become more consistent and under control with your
game:
Send your partner down the other end of the court (save
yourself some energy - you will need it!), tell them that they can hit the ball
to anywhere they want inside the singles court, and that you are going to hit
the ball back to them. Ask them to hit the ball at a speed that allows you
to get to the ball, but that still makes you run and move. The idea is to
have one player working really hard to move and control the ball, while the
other player learns to hit into space and control the direction of the
rally. Start the ball with a forehand or a backhand and play out the rally
at a reasonable speed. As the rally's become longer then increase the
speed of the ball. To make it more difficult make yourself hit only into the
back half of the court, or into the square behind the service box on the
forehand side of the court. You can add in some tennis scoring points and
play a set if you want to make it more competitive, and of course you can chage
roles so you are not always doing all of the running!
Work on different specific shots by changing the target you
hit to on the court, eg: Work on your backhand crosscourt and your forehand down
the line by hitting into the backhand corner of the
court.
