Tennis drills

• The players use the lines of the pitch - no equipment needed. 
• They are given different tasks that they will perform 1', 
• then 1' rest and work your partner (keep the distance).

1. Stand along the line: Tapping RV over the line as much as possible. / Tap LV across the line as much as possible.
2. Hop from one line to the other - are you falling? Start again. (put extra stripe/strip in the middle)
3. 2 feet across the line, 2 feet behind the line.
4. base line posture - net
5. Long jump followed by a high jump

• The players start in 1 corner of the field (mini-tennis) and try to play volley with each other to the other side and back.
• How many times can they go up and down? 

• The player across the field starts in the middle of the field (baseline) and gets a low ball thrown in
  • Requires the first ball slice to be played straight ahead.
• The player on trainers side 
  • Start single line FH/BH (opposite line to first ball) 
  • Play out
• Can you score with volley? = 3 points

• The players leave in the middle of the field (baseline):
  • They get a lower ball played on their BH/FH 
  • Deep slice along the line
  • Follow on to the net and finish volley (aiming) on the tower of balls. (cone)
  • Practice the same other side or both sides at the same time. 
• 1 set of BH slice - 1 set of FH slice - 1 set of BH slice....

• The player starts at the starting cone; 
  • Move low and sideways running to the next cone. 
  • Jumping back to the previous cone
• Afterwards back to the 2nd cone and jump back.

• The player starts at the starting cone. 
  • As soon as possible he moves to the other cones and plays the BH. 
  • Cross over move back to the starting cone
• Footwork: L-R-L for BH (right-handed)

• Players play 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 with both a racket in their hands.
  • There is a hoop in the middle between the teams.
  • They get a baby ball (purple ball) and they have to hit the ball into the hoop each time. 
  • If the opponents can't take the ball anymore =2x bounces = point.
  • Pass to each other
  • Do not disturb
  • So the players are constantly walking around their hoop, in order to make different angles for the opponent
• 1 - 1 start = afterwards 2 vs 2
  • First play the ball up to yourself - then try to score ( 1 player -1 player)
  • Receiving the ball from opponents - play up (pass to team-mate) team-mate must play in the hoop ( 2-2 players)

• The player zigzags face to face to the net as fast as possible; between the cones.
  • The next player may leave if the player in front of him is in half.
  • The trainer throws a ball forward
  • The player must at the end of his series after one collision replay this ball with FH --> then BH.

Variants: 

• Hopping LF / RF
• Circle around each cone
• 2 feet jumping over the cones
• Same in BH - throw the other side and start.

• The players start behind the first cone, pilon,...
  • The players move as fast as possible to the next pot (split-step) and back to the starting cone. 
  • Always move one cone further.

Attention to cross-over first step

• Can play with racket in hand and FH and BH at each cone + split at the starting cone (with racket)

• The players will face each other in pairs from the circle area. 
  • That circle area is delimited with strips or cones or pots.
  • The trainer gives a start signal and then they try to tap each other.
  • They may only move around the area by sideways movement (tag axes)

Corona: 

• Racket in hand 
  • Tap with racket

For the first time 3 points

• The players stand in the middle of the field
  • 1 player serves the ball via the foot and it must bounce in a service box
  • The other player is required to follow to the net. 

Lower level: do not follow to the net.

• The players try to get the ball off the ground via the foot and play the ball up in front of themselves
• One can make and play a movement above one's hand
• The ball may bounce from behind the baseline anywhere in the field
