INTRODUCTION

DEMONSTRATION of the forehand by T. The P copy. One partner throws the ball up underarm a short distance, the P hits it gently back to the partner (core movement with MAIN ACTION).

T comments on technique or plays too, the P change positions.

The players attempt to hit a soft ball (red ball or small court ball) a short distance to and fro using the forehand.

Each person practices on his own, then play with partner.

Low intensity, 15-20 mins in rest condition, no exhaustion!

The T can initially throw the ball.

The partner throws the ball (throw the ball away from the body of the forehand player), the P hits the ball over the net into the target area (service court).

With a gentle swing.

After playing from the hitting position the P move a few steps to the ball, move from the

ready position into the hitting position.

If there are more than 4 players 2 small courts should be set up on both halves of the tennis court.

First the P can also throw the ball themselves and hit it into the opposite service court.

T should only intervene if the GRIP is extremely wrong. It is not possible to perform the exercise and the main action optimally if the grip is extremely wrong. Particularly when teaching children numerous special

EXPLANATORY exercises for the forehand should be included.
