The Launch of the Tennis SuperMovers Footwork Challenge
Each month we will be bringing you a footwork challenge to test your players. We will be posting it here on our blog as well as across our social media platforms Instagram YouTube and Twitter
The goal is to create a simple drill that can be completed on the tennis court and be easily timed to test yourself or your players. Then over the coming weeks, add this drill to players' warm-ups and fitness sessions, then re-time them to see the improvement they have made.
This month's drill combines sprinting, backpedalling and change of direction, all to maintain the on-court speed.
