Tennis drills

• 2 laps run in
• Run through each other.
  • There are jars on the other side of the field.
  • When the trainer claps then the players must walk to the potty and perform an exercise; such as planks, push-ups, lunges, jumping jacks, and so on.

Work in pairs:

• 2 players face each other in the middle of the cones/balls/rackets.
• 1 player = follower
• 1 player = escaper/runner

• At the start signal, the runner tries to misdirect the follower.
• There's a ball on both rackets/pistons and the runner must try to take it without the follower being able to tap it. 
  • tapping with tennis ball in hand
• Successful = 1 point (first 3) and then change.

• 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 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

• Put the ball on the racket: let the ball roll over the strings, the ball must not roll off the racket
• keep the ball on the racket, while you touch the floor, sit down, get up, limp, run etc.
• Try to keep the racket at chest height at all times.
• Throw the ball up with the racket and catch it again with the racket
• Throw the ball a little bit in front of you
• Run after it and catch it again with your racket.
• throw ball up let it bounce once and then catch it with the racket
• keep playing up the ball, don't catch it anymore
• try to walk around when you play the ball up, who succeeds without mistakes and without touching anyone

• Stay in the rally The student is able to: 
  • To strike forehand- and backhand techniques in doubles and singles in different ways.
• To indicate which principles apply when building up a point.
• To start up and maintain independent play and practice forms.
• To take part in the lesson with attention and understanding, focus, hungry for work and combativeness.
• To work and consult together.
• Apply knowledge of the rules. 

• Put a ball on the players rackets, and let them steal each other's balls without falling off. 
• If their ball is stolen or falls off, let them run e.g. for 1 round 
• Depends on the age!

• between the two tennis players are 2 hoops, about a meter apart.
• Try to get the ball into each other's hoop (who has the most hits)?
• More difficult: between the two tennis players.
• each on one side of the net, on each side of the net 2 hoops (hoops must be on the same spot on both sides), play the ball over the net and try to bounce the ball in the other hoop.

• POSITION 1: KNEES LIFT LENGTH BASELINE _ NET
• POSITION 2: LUNGES WITH ROTATION FH/ BH
• POSITION 3: TAPPING LINES WITH HAND / RACKET // SERVICE BOX
• POSITION 4: SKATE ON THE DOUBLE LINES WITH BALANCE
• POSITION 5: RCKET JUMPING L-R

= Sliding through system: Lunges- knees lift- racketspin-lines taps- 1 leg jumps with balance 

exercise takes 1 min - 30 sec rest (move to next exercise) = 7.5 min/ lap = 2 rounds = 15 min

• The players perform this exercise to improve their footwork:
  • Slalom sideways between the cones (back to front) and tap a 'number'.
  • After tapping a 'number' slalom back between the cones and tap another 'number'

• Place hoops at the back line.
• Each player own racket and ball.
• The player holds the racket horizontally in front of them with the elbow bent and taps the ball up a bit.
• Then let the ball bounce along the racket on the ground in the hoop and in the bounce pick up the ball again to tap it back up a bit.
• Do this 10 times.
  
  
• Then they will do the same exercise walking to the net.
• Turn around and return to the hoop.
