This week's Exercise of the Week is a super simple one - it's called Circle Tag.
I use this drill to work on rapid lateral movement - players will use either shuffle steps or cross-over steps for a fast change of direction.
Here I have used rings to create the circle, but you could use cones, spots or throw down lines.
I'll add this exercise in after working on footwork as a separate closed drill (no race or reaction), then I challenge the footwork in a high intensity competitive situation.
These type of closed drills make up a key component of the Tennis SuperMovers programme. We ensure that players master the fundamentals of tennis footwork - check it out here.
Have a great week, if you have any questions, or suggestions for Exercise of the Week, please email me direct at [email protected]
