Now let's look at some more challenging skill building possibilities, so that your better players, the advanced competitive levels can be challenged in large groups as well.
I want to make this little more challenging, let's say it's intermediate group we are learning what, control volleys, drop volleys, here is the skill builder. Later than catch and hit, ready. Girl that's it, that's what, now it's a skill builder, for an intermediate level player. Ready on a whistle, did you shake hands, you know each other's name. Oh, you are the coach, make sure they count, a lot of our beginners, young lady, you are the coach alright. You will be just coaching, you move over there. Now if you are doing, you are making sure that their catch them through and you got to get all their names. You are going to be dizzy to that 20-30 seconds. Ready?
The point is, it's not that that's the best drill in the world or the worst drill in the world, the point is, it's an exercise with involvement, interactivity, you are dealing with large numbers Arthur Ashe did say before the US Open, can you pick 100 people doing this on one court. Sure you can, they could do it from service line to single side line and you alternate it and stand up and they think oh, and then it's just attacking a hit.
A more difficult skill would be a catch edge hit, to the catch, edge, hit, yet a more difficult drill would be catch and backhand, yet a more difficult drill to be to catch forehand, and hit backhand. So we really got to moving around or a super catch where they are in here. A lot of throws when they get a large group on one court, we are dealing with, we need to have involvement line. So I just want to share that as a large group option, okay. And there are ways, we can do it at the volley, back and forth, numerous ways, it doesn't have to appear so basic, okay. You all want to catch up in a minute.
Now please don't misunderstand and think that at times line drills are not practical and fun, they can be. That's for sure, but as a general rule and especially with large groups, try to avoid arranging the students in lines instead pairing them to increase everyone's involvement and activity level can be a very positive option. There are only three main limitations you will experience with large numbers on a single court, baseline to baseline rallies will be difficult, serves and returns will be difficult and also practicing overheads will be hard.
In other words, large groups on a single court will need to work on more controlled type rather than power type skills. This will keep things both safe and productive.
