Serve technique

After fitness in the morning with Jaedan, today's focus was on the different types of serve which a player can serve and how to coach someone to achieve them. The main serve which was focused on was the kick serve. A kick serve is when a ball kicks out wide making it hard for the opponent to retrieve it back giving yourself the upperhand. 1 hour of serving practice to increase the percentage of serving which goes in. After this we took Jaedan to the ball machine which helps increase a players consistency and its all about repetition. 3:30 came and the academy players started arriving. A you can see from the previous post I watched a girl names Taylor play a match yesterday. So today I tried to help her on what I thought she could improve on. This involved basket feeding working on technique and on her ground strokes. I then playing out some points and addressing issues as you went on. This was a learning point for me as I found that if you have a player they may play differently in training compared to in match as it is in a different situation.
