Next Level 350 Series

Thank you for attending Lesson 4 of our 12 week Training Series! Please note that lessons do not have to be taken in numerical order. You are welcome to start anytime during the 2 month rotation.

 

Here are your notes and homework from class. Keep practicing to solidify all you learned.

 

Looking forward to seeing you next week!

​

Return of Serve Mechanic

• Start well behind the baseline with staggered feet

  • This allows player to move through the ball with weight transfer as they hit

• Focus on contact point out in front. 

• Short Backswing- paddle butt to back hip

• Extending forward and not up. 

• Footwork:

• Forehand – open stance (right handed player)

  • Turn hips and load onto right foot

  • Push forward off of right leg while hitting and land on left foot

• Backhand – closed stance (right handed player)

  • Turn shoulders and hips to load onto right leg

  • Push forward off of right leg as you allow weight transfer to move through the shot

 

Return Down the Line Drill

• Set up cones in the back outside corners of the service boxes

• 1 player serves and 1 player returns to the targets down the line

• Server alternates serving from even and odd sides

• Returner practices returning deep down the line

 

Transition Zone Trash Collector

• One player at NVZ, one at transition zone

• NVZ player feeds balls to transition zone player who has to reset all balls

• Feeds can be hit out of the air or off the bounce- variety is best!

• Timed rounds to see how many you can hit into NVZ in the round
