Putting one on one doubles into practice: tennis instructional tips.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Ed Krass, the creator of One on One Doubles. One on One Doubles is a singles game where players must serve and volley on their serve and all shots are played cross court. After the interview with Ed Krass, I decided to try introducing one on one doubles play to an intermediate student of mine. At first, it was a struggle for the student to successfully serve and volley, he often missed volleys and got caught while on the run. Here were some key factors that helped him execute the serve and volley plays successfully. First, an abbreviated serve was necessary for him to move into the net quickly. Second, split stepping when he got to the service line and putting his racquet up was vital to successfully hitting winning volleys. Furthermore, taking off immediately after he hit the serve to head to the net was a key factor in producing winning volleys. In addition, understanding the early contact point for volleys helped him successfully win points. For more information on one on one doubles, go to www.oneononedoubles.com.
