9:30am -10:00am |
Warm up Period -
We will rotate you in this so you can hit
with different people to begin assessing
each other. |
|
10:00 - 11:00am |
Service Specifics
- Understanding personal technical
differences whilst maintaining core
demonstration skills and accuracy. This is
a group practice designed to make you
think out of the box. |
|
11:00 -12:00pm |
Groundstroke Specifics
- We will put you in groups to work on
forehand drives. We will give all coaches
an opportunity to teach and be taught in
this period. Learn how you can move your
forehand to the next level. During this
hour we need to address differences
between single and double-handed
backhands. Also the fact that as a coach
you should be prepared to teach what is
required to pupils rather than what you
can do skill-wise! Again you as coaches
will help each other out offering and
receiving tips on stroke improvement for
you to work on. |
|
12:00pm - 1:00pm |
Net skills - Coaches can easily
neglect volleying skills, but as a PTR
core stroke you need to be able to play
your volleys with a good technical
foundation. We shall ensure you finish the
morning with the right grip, ready
position and stroke mechanics in your
volleying skills. If we have time we may
finish the morning with the PTR Approach
Shot drill to hit your volleys on the
move! |
|
1.00pm - 2.00pm lunch |

|
2:00pm - 3:00pm |
Speciality time - With drop shots,
half volley and approach shots. Sometimes
players find the speciality strokes easy
some find it hard, but often it is the
application to specific details which
cause these strokes to be marked down on
skills tests. We will eradicate this for
you, plus we shall work on the feeding
skills to prompt good replies from these
strokes. |
|
3:00pm - 4:00pm |
Lobs and smashes and review - We
shall look at topspin lobs and ways to
improve your smash if required in this
section. Also you will have time to review
any strokes or feeding items you wish with
each other, in groups or generally with
your course tutor in the wrap-up. |
