Does Your Game Match Up ?
GAME STYLE
Before you go diving into technique, reflect first on your game style.
Do you match up ?
How should you be playing based on your technical, physical and mental attributes ?
We take you through a checklist so you can find a pathway to follow that works for you. Improve the style you’ve got, add to your current style or think about changing your style.
We will show you how to cope and then compete against some of the classic player styles regularly found on the club and park circuit. The hacker who slices everything, the big server/forehand and the net rusher.

Doubles Masterclass Series
TEAMWORK
Doubles is a fun sport that requires skill and strategy to overcome 2 players the other side of the net. Work as a team to defend, rally and attack effectively as one unit.
We’ll show you the key aspects of teamwork and shot selection: court position, movement and recovery with options of how to play in different game situations.
Let’s not forget the all important communication skills…
“I thought you were going to get it” !
Doubles is a specialist art with an emphasis on controlling the net. Players need to be able to hit a range of volleys and smashes to target space on the court whilst also having a strategy when opponents are on the attack.
You’ll get to practice the essential doubles skills and shots in drills and conditioned games that will help you enjoy doubles more, with a better understanding of what to do, where and when.
