Training Junior Players
Training
Rob Janssen Asked 9 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I'm 21 years old and an advanced player. Now I want to help my coach with training the Junior players, most of them are 8-14 years old. Some are beginners and some are already a little bit more advanced
Now my question is, what can I do to make the training fun and intresting for them. Since I think I would be more of a serious coach, trying to focus on technique mostly. But I also want to keep training sessions fun and intresting for them.
So do you have any ideas for maybe some fun excercises for them they can do, some games? Anything.
Kind regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Try to find game type activities that you can do with them. Base it on the drills that you are using. For example if they are doing a footwork drill, do the drill but score how many rallies each player wins while still staying with the drill constraints.

A slow spinny topspin can be very difficult to deal with. Think about using this type of loop in your game to draw errors from your opponent. Learn about some different ways to execute this stroke and find out if your opponent has difficulties with this type of ball.
