Alley Drill

   

View a drill from Tennis Skills & Drills

Procedure: Each player stands on the deuce side of the court and behind the doubles alley on each side of the court. Player 1 feeds the ball into play and aims for player 2’s doubles alley (see figure 10.7). Player 2 responds by also hitting to player 1’s alley. After two alley shots are executed, the point is played in the singles lines only. Each player should hit on the outside of the ball with the intent of opening the court. The feed does not count as a point but every forehand crosscourt hit into the alley does count as a point. The game is played to 7 points and then switched to the backhand side. Players should also alternate between being player 1 and player 2.

Pay attention to what her weapons are and how you played into those weapons. What kind of ball did you send, enabling your opponent to rip that unhittable shot? Obviously, you want to avoid doing that again. Even if you’re getting aced, take a look at where your opponent is tossing the ball. That should give you a clue about where to set up for the return.

Methods of Resistance Training

   

Read an excerpt from the newly-released title, Developing Endurance

The methods of resistance training are directly related to the way that the training program is designed. The methods used in the application of resistive loads are largely dictated by the overall goals of the training program or the phase of the periodized training plan. The most effective and time-efficient method for developing strength and power that directly affect athletic performance involves combining several modes of training, such as free weights, plyometrics, and medicine ball work.
