In this training camp, you will massively improve the effectiveness of your attacking game by targeting the main attacking zones – the backhand corner, the forehand corner and the crossover position. If you can consistently hit these three zones, your attacks will be much stronger and you’ll win many more points. We will also look at how to hit very wide attacks on both the forehand side and the backhand side. This is an essential session for any player wanting to develop a stronger attacking game.

This training camp is suitable for players at an intermediate (and above) standard. You should already be able to do a backspin serve, topspin serve, forehand push, backhand push, forehand drive and backhand drive.
This training camp is not suitable for complete beginners. Instead, I recommend 1-to-1 coaching. If you are unsure whether this training camp is suitable for you, please email me with more information about your playing standard and I will advise.
