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.

Beating Defenders
Against defenders you've generally got a bit more time to make your attack and so you can be more selective on which ball to target. Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.
