Basic Doubles Tactics:
New to doubles?
Or just looking to improve your performance on the doubles court. The course is designed to help you achieve your full potential, whatever your level. The goal is to give you the confidence to enjoy club sessions knowing you are the best doubles partner you can be.
Look at the professional doubles specialists and you will see they utilise patterns of play so that each half of the pairing knows who is doing what, when and why. It is that skill set this course is looking to embed, using the same drills the pros do, and shamelessly cherry picking the best hints and tips from the very best in the world.
