In this video, United States Tennis Association (USTA) movement training specialist Mark Grabow coaches USTA National Team members through a progression of fun, well-paced footwork drills. Designed to simulate game situations, each drill is timed to be executed at a work/rest ratio similar to the ratio of time it takes to play a point and the amount of rest time before the next point begins. Plus, many of the drills include a sound stimulus (voice or hand clap) that adds the element of unpredictability found in each match.
The video begins with warm-up drills for injury prevention and progresses to footwork drills in these areas:
- Conditioning and agility
- Baseline footskills (side-to-side agility, balance, and counter movements)
- Baseline bursts with racket
- Acceleration and coordination
Advanced Footskills for Tennis video is an excellent teaching tool for instructors and coaches of college, high school, and junior tennis players. Throughout the video, Grabow gives continuous constructive feedback to each player and creates an atmosphere of teamwork. Viewers will also appreciate that objectives are clearly defined and proper techniques are demonstrated for each drill. Plus, all drills are performed on a clay court to show slide, balance, and recovery techniques unique to that surface.
Use the fun drills in Advanced Footskills for Tennis to help your players increase their footskills and improve their overall performance.
