Week Two: Forehand Fundamentals

Coaches will explain grip options such as western, semi-western, and eastern, as well as their corresponding hand positions on the racquet. From there, the focus will be on three things: 1) Uni-turn, making sure the children turn their shoulders and feet before hitting the ball 2) Dropping the racquet below the ball before making contact so that they can put topspin on the ball 3) Contacting the ball out, in front of their bodies with their weight going forward.
