Tennis Training Drills, Practice Your Footwork
A good tennis training drill should always include footwork. A tennis player who has good footwork will be able to reach and hit a tennis ball with controlled effort. An example of a player who hits the ball with controlled effort is the incomparable, Roger Federer. One of the reasons why Roger Federer is the number one player in the world is his amazing footwork. he may not be as fast as some of his younger contemporaries, but he has great instincts and anticipation.
A good way to get started with a tennis training drill for footwork begins with the warmup drills. you start off by jogging across the court and then a backwards jog in return. The next thing you do is try the backwards skip, this exercise is not only good for your cooridination, but it is easy on the legs.
The sidestep is another great tennis training drill. To do this drill, turn sideways and practice skipping from the right to the left a few steps and then turn around and repeat the steps. The chances of you getting to the tennis ball will increase by learning these basic footwork drills.
