bring it!

Hello players, parents and fellow coaches.
Here we are again with another week gone by and a new one ready to begin. Before heading into this weeks plan and thoughts lets sum up last week.
To those players that attended ( it was a small week) great stuff. We committed ourselves from Monday to work hard and put in a heavy work load for the week. And that we did. Everyone pushed hard and put in their time and reps. Kudos to all. The goal was for that week to get us on course for the next few. Hopefully it did and this week we can focus on some more partner hitting and structured play.

This weeks plan will be to focus on using the cardio training into our hitting. We will be focusing on high intensity rallying. Aiming for high numbers and big minutes. Pushing our legs and core strength to stay with the ball. Keeping our balance on contact and allowing for minimum mistakes. Lots of cross court hitting, keeping up the quality of each and every ball. Preventing the opponent from changing direction on the ball and dictating play.
We will also be focusing on being aggressive and explosive to the point from the beginning of it. Servers trying win on 4 or less shots. Returners trying to do the same. One example.
The combination of these two attitudes in paying the point should lead us to having short hard hitting and demanding points. May the best player win!
