Greetings,

as I mentioned before,I am now a coach of newbies.
i wonder how should I exactly train them.
CUrrently we are struggling with holding the bat correctly.
They are not able to spar together efficiently.
I am trying to follow the Basic strokes video,but I do not want it to be boring,and they are not stable enough to fire at a target or something.
Please advise.

Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,

The main thing is to give them as many opportunities to hit the ball correctly.  Try to use different types of feeding the ball.  Use multi ball or utilise parents or any other players to help to control the ball for them.

Also you can get them to bounce the ball to each other. Take a look through the Beginner Training 101 series for ideas when you have the players starting out.

Your Opponent's Weak Spot

When playing a game, you need to think about where you place the ball. Every player is different and you should have an understanding about where their weak spots are. You should think about this for when you are attacking, blocking, serving and receiving. The weak spot may vary between these different parts of their game.
