Level 2 – Learn the fundamentals

In Level 2 of our Player Development System, the focus is on fundamentals.  Players will work on developing technically solid strokes, that will  allow them to control the ball in different directions, at different speeds, at different heights and at different distances.

In the video below you will find examples of exercises to improve Level 2 skills.

All Goals of Level 2

Groundstrokes

  • You develop a solid technical base
  • You work on early racket preparation, with a clean contact point and a fluid finish to the stroke
  • You start experimenting with different lengths, directions and heights

Serve and Return

  • You work on a solid, basic serving technique eventually using the Continental grip
  • You learn to toss the ball high enough, stretch and hit the ball at the highest point
  • You learn to use your legs when serving
  • You learn the basics of the return

Net Play

Footwork
