grams e.g Dynamic warm up, Cool downs etc - visit www.tennisfitness.com)

1. SINGLE LEG MEDICINE BALL LEG DRIVE


• This drill will help improve your vertical jump, and power out of your legs, great for service leg
drive.
• Start by balancing on your right leg. Make sure your core is engaged and you have your knee
slightly bent. As your coach/trainer throws a medicine ball above your head, jump as high as
you can and drive out of your right leg and catch the medicine ball in the air. Then land back
down on your right leg with a bent knee. Throw ball back and repeat this sequence for time.
The aim is to drive out of your leg and maintain balance on your landing.

2. SQUAT MEDICINE ROTATION


• This core exercise will help develop functional core strength through different planes of move-
ment, in particular the rotational plane. Having a strong core can help reduce and prevent
injuries.
• Start by standing with a wide base, holding a medicine ball between both hands at chest height.
Sit back into a squat and at the same time rotate your upper torso side to side. You need to
engage your core and make sure you don’t let the hips shift. You should aim to do 4 rotations
on the way down and 4 on the way up. Repeat for set time. Alternate the side you start the ball
from each time you drop down. The movement should be dynamic and controlled.

3. STEP ROTATION
• This drill will help improve your rotational power, and core strength...giving you more control
and power through your forehand and backhand, whilst recovering faster out of your shots.
• Start by holding a medicine ball between both hands and keep it at chest height. Stand to the
side with a wide leg base and slightly bend the knees. Swing and rotate the ball forward, whilst
stepping the back foot forward at the same time. Make sure you get good hip drive and make
the movement explosive. Reverse the sequence to get back to the start position and repeat for
set repetitions. This exercise should be performed at a fast tempo with control.

4. LATERAL FAST FEET LEG LOAD


• This drill will help improve your foot speed, generate more power on your loading leg and help
players recover faster.
• Start by having 2 markers placed 80cm a part. Load your right leg and push off, take 2 small
lateral quick steps between the 2 markers. When both feet have passed through the markers,
stabilise and load the left leg and repeat the sequence back. Make sure steps are dynamic and
sharp. Ensure you maintain good athletic posture throughout the drill.

5. SPRINT DECELERATION
• This drill is great for improving your deceleration (braking system). It’s important to learn how
to stop efficiently for tennis. Most players always train for acceleration, however deceleration is
just as important as acceleration.
• Start by having 2 cones marked out 5m apart. Stand behind one cone, facing the other cone.
Sprint as fast as possible towards the cone and when you approach it, take small controlled small
steps to slow down. Once you reach the cone, take small rapid steps around the cone to complete
2 full circles. Walk back and repeat for set time. This drill needs to be completed with intensity,
with the focus on the DECELERATION into the cone and small rapid steps around the cone.

6. ROTATIONAL SQUAT JUMPS


• This drill is great for generating power on rotation, and improving dynamic balance and lower
body coordination.
• Start with your hands by your side. Squat down like you’re sitting in a chair, to approximately 90
degrees. Initiate movement with an explosive vertical jump, swinging arms through. Rotate body
around 90 degrees. Decelerate by bending your knees smoothly, land onto toes and then heals.
Return the squat jump rotating back to start position. Repeat rotating body to opposite side.
• This is a dynamic exercise, so jump up as high as possible and whip your body around with
purpose.
