Developing the Serve – Red Ball (Video)

In this, the first part of our series on the serve, experienced coach and i2c Director, Mark Tennant, takes you through progressions of the serve at red ball level. We don’t believe you will see this in such detail anywhere else. The series includes step by step videos and demonstrated, on-court, by working with a red-ball player.

You’ll receive great teaching points for the tennis serve and ideas for different teaching progressions. You’ll know what’s required to prepare your players for the orange court.
