Coach’s Knowledge: Goal to achieve
We move from side to side, generating power in our shots and we recognize opportunities to step in and attack.
- We take time away from the opponent: By making diagonal movements forward we cut time to the ball to give the opponent time to recover the neutral position.
- Consistency and power generation: From the baseline, play consistent, generating power in the shots and without making unforced mistakes (play with big margins)
- Combination of attacks; Within the same point or live ball drill, combinations of preparations and attacks to the empty space or wrong foot.
- Recognition: We recognize attack opportunities and execute them.
- Footwork in 3/4 of court: When the opponent’s ball comes flying slow, we change the speed the steps to take time (take time away to the ball’s flight and to the opponent).
- Beginning of plays with the serve and the return and following shots.
