About this course

Notes from the coach

The Match Practice is only available to members of HLTC who play or wish to play in one of the Club Teams. We are limited to 24 players, so once the course is fully booked, we will be unable to fit in any players arriving unannounced on the night. You will have one hour of working on a theme, followed by 1 hour of practice matches. Week 1: Find your playing style: Experiment with different tactics/styles to see which suits you the most. You can then target your practices to suit what you are trying to achieve on the match court. Week 2: The baseliner: When you do get into baseline exchanges, how to outmanoeuvre your opponents into a mistake giving you a short ball. What to do with the short ball when it does arrive. Week 3: The Volleyer: Moving back and forth or side to side according to the quality of the shot your opponent has received. Week 4: Serve/Return tactics: Use your strengths to build your points. Week 5: Recap previous 4 weeks and play a competition
