Balloon Tennis Pt. 1
The name of the game is “keep it up!” How many consecutive hits can you do without letting the balloon hit the ground? Balloon tennis is a perfect indoor activity for players to get comfortable using their racquet and rallying with a partner.
Balloon Tennis Pt. 2
Once you get the hang of balloon tennis, increase the challenge and work on flips, which help beginner players work on forehands and backhands. You can also try rallying with a partner to work on teamwork and communication.
Edgies
All you need is a racquet and a ball for this fun drill! Edgies help you work on your continental grip. Try to see how many times you can hit the ball using the outer edge of your racquet!
Fast Feet
Ready for a challenge? You have to be quick on your feet in tennis, so put your skills to the test against 2017 US Open Finalist Madison Keys!
