Notes from the coach

This session will cover the Serve, Return, Serve and 2nd shot and Return and 2nd shot for both singles and doubles. Most singles rallies in tennis are between 1-4 shots in length and so if we can improve how we play these first four shots we should see more success when we play points. If you want to beat your main rival at your club or generally just improve your serve and return - this class will help you. In doubles, if you can place your serves in key areas of the service box you make the return very difficult and set up your partner for the winning volley at the net. Doubles serving is more about placement than power. Likewise if you miss your target on the serve, the returner is looking to maximise their return and put the server under pressure. If you want to improve your doubles play whether you are playing competitive matches or just friendly doubles at your club, class will give you key tips and tactics to take away, which will improve your doubles play.
