Drills

Band skips

Heavy feeds

Coach feeds in a heavy topspin ball, forcing the player to work hard to hit a heavy ball in return.

Taking ball on the rise

Coach feed and over arm pitch into the ground that bounces up to players shoulder height. Player needs to take feed at the peak of the bounce.

Front foot hop forehand

Sets of 5 – 10 short balls with rest in between. Make sure player gets to the side of the ball transfers their body weight through contact. Player should push off the back leg transferring all of their body weight onto the front foot then hop, landing on the front foot first.

Hand feeds moving forehand

Players need to create their own pace as the hand fed ball has no speed on it. Set length varies depending on training goal.
