Tennis drills for technique lob

  • The teacher will recap briefly the previous lesson.
  • What did we do and what did you learn?
  • It was about serving and returning and the experience that tennis is not that difficult at all and can be quite intense.
  • The instructor explains that today we will technically zoom in on forehands and backhands, tactically on point building and doubles and in general on cooperation and communication.
  • Each pair tries to play over, with each student trying to rush the other by creating space and hitting the ball in space.
  • The emphasis is really on trying.
  • Besides using the space, they can experiment with hitting harder, taking the ball earlier and deliberately slowing down the game.
  • The teacher gives different lengths of lane (using the lines present in the room) to experience how hard / soft / high / low / deep the ball should be hit to be able to play together within this assignment.
  • After the ball has been hit wrong twice, the two of them will switch to the waiting two on their lane.
  • The students who are waiting can check the assignment and 'play along' in their minds.


passing

  • 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.
