Lesson 11+If the goal of the goal is eventually play matches against players will start talking strategy to win. Also work on serves and volleys which are more advanced depending on how the previous lessons have been going.
Lesson 4-10Rally and begin to hit it back and forth. Have goals for how long we want the rally to go. If big mistakes are made we will bring it and talk about. Switch to a drill to cover how to improve then back to rallies.

Youth players
Working with kidsI try to focus on more fun games inbetween the drills. An early goal is figure out if they enjoy the game and want to continue. While at the same time try to make them get better at it.
Working with teenagersMost of the ones I work with have the intention to be able to try out for their high school team. I have help many achieve this so I have confidence in this area.
