Tip #5: Coaching Tips Add Value to Community Leagues
|
|
By Mitchell Seidenfeld
Ten minutes of instruction at the beginning of a league night adds tremendous value for participants of your community league. Consider presenting information on these topics: grip, ready position, adjusting racket angles to return spin, FH Drive, BH Drive, FH Push, BH Push, Shuffle-Step Footwork, how to identify strengths and weaknesses in your opponent’s game, and basic rules like how to serve legally. You can ensure the success of your league by helping league
participants be more successful.

Mitch Seidenfeld explains spin and how to return it to new players in the Plymouth Community
League.
Of course, a good league director must also understand that many of the new, recreational players who register for a community league do not think they need coaching and might not be interested in making changes to their game. Rather than attempt to force the coaching on a new player or try to show them up out on the table, give them time to discover the benefits of better technique and equipment on their own and let them know that if they have questions, you are
available to help.
