Principles of Doubles #1: Fundamentals

This brand new Principles of Doubles course helps to build your understanding of the roles, positioning and teamwork needed to coach doubles with confidence.

Developed by Rob Smith and Lorna Woodroffe to aid coaches in their understanding of core principles, and ensuring they can set players up for a lifetime of tennis and a love of the game.

During this course you will learn:

• How to breakdown doubles into four distinct roles: the server, server’s partner, the returner, returner’s partner
• To explore teamwork, positioning, and roles in doubles for players across all stages of development
• Targeted drills designed to develop specific skills for each of the doubles roles
• The principles of the British Tennis doubles system, and how to make them meaningful for players at the beginning of their journey
