March is here and I'm sure a lot of players are going away for a short vacation. We will make sure all players work hard this week so they can use their March break to get a good rest.
This week our focus will be working on pattern training, specifically on starting the point and the 2nd shot after. We will be looking at starting the point (serve or return) towards opponent's backhand and what to do with the next shot coming back. There will be decision making component in this training in order to help players understand how to position themselves, whether they should/could continue to take control and play aggressively, or they need to take a neutral (perhaps defensive)position to keep the ball in play. This training will go well with the serve and return training we have been working on for last couple weeks. I think it will also help players in their matches.
We will continue to work on groundstroke skills as far as handling pace, have better timing and impact, create better rhythm during rally... etc. I think everyone has improved tremendously in these areas, but we need to maintain them and continue to get better at them.
Let's make this a great week! See you on court!
