4-Week Curriculum
You know the rules, can sustain 6+ ball rallies, and have experimented with serves, returns, dinks, drives, volleys, and drops. This series sharpens execution and introduces smarter doubles strategy, positioning, and coordinated plays.
Session 1 — Depth & Decisions + Smart Poaching
Deep serves/returns to control time and space. When to third-shot drop vs drive, and how to poach responsibly (reading cues, covering, and not overreaching).
Session 2 — Backhand Confidence: “Backhands Slap!”
Build a reliable, fast backhand: compact mechanics, punch volleys, countering speed-ups, and turning defense into offense.
Session 3 — Touch & Transition: Dinks, Resets, 3rd Shot Drops
Soft-game mastery: consistent dinks, purposeful third-shot drops, and calm resets through the transition zone to neutralize pressure.
Session 4 — Team Tactics: Communication, Triangles & Lobs
Clear partner calls, triangle coverage for smarter positioning, when to lob, how to defend lobs, and setting up high-percentage finishes.
