Exciting Tennis Drills
Tennis camps tend to be a little different than other tennis clinics or tennis instruction. The key goal of the camp counselors is to find fun tennis drills that’re entertaining. Tennis teachers need to make sure that kids have a wonderful experience during tennis camps. Tennis pros frequently have a problem obtaining new exciting and fun tennis drills. Listed below are some examples of very good tennis drills that are interesting and entertaining.
The first drill is known as “Around the World”. Participants divide into 2 even teams to side A and B. Each team forms a single line behind their baseline. The trainer hits the ball in to the first player in line on side B, who hits the ball over then moves around the court to the back of the queue on side A. The first participant in every line hits 1 ball only and sprints around the same exact way. Once a player misses, he’s out of the game (they can get balls). The last participant surviving is the winner. This can be a good tennis drill for advanced beginner children.
The next fun tennis drill is known as “Fill the Court”. Players separate yet again into two even teams to side A and B. Each group creates just one line behind their baseline. The coach hits the ball in from the net post, and the first participants in each line play out rally with each other on the singles side. The losing participant goes out and to the end of the line. The winning participant stays on and calls in the next player in line to help him win the following rally. Should they succeed yet again, they can pull in a 3rd competitor and so on. The team that is able to bring all its players into play wins the game. Once a team loses a rally, they return back to 1 participant. This is a great drill when one court consists of a lot of players.
The last exercise is named “Jabba the Hut”. Exactly six competitors are used for this game with three player groups on either side. One single competitor in each team kneels down at the T on their side. The rest of the competitors start at the baseline. The instructor feeds the ball from the net post to one of the baseline players. Each of those teams play out the point with one another for 1 point each. If within the rally either of the two kneeling players hit the ball over and in, their team immediately gains three points regardless if they lose the point eventually. The first team to 21 points is the champion. This can be a very popular tennis drill.
Tennis instructors have to make sure they always keep their camps innovative with unique fun tennis drills. If the students are enjoying themselves, they will be back for the following camps.
