Serving Technique (right handed player)

• Have a consistent pre-serve routine that you do before every serve and start with a continental grip and your weight on your front foot
• Rock hands and weight back towards the back leg
• Either slide your foot up or have the back foot remain in the same spot prior to contact — be consistent
• Arms move at the same time, stay lose, and work together
• Hands rise together and stay lose until contact
• Left arm tosses the ball from the right of the body and right arm is turned to the left side of the body
• Right elbow needs to be on proper side of your body and have enough space from the rib cage
• Heals off the ground as leg bend occurs
• Racquet face is angled down from the trophy position
• Toss even with your head for deception
• Pronate according to the spin and location you are hitting
• Jump and land inside the baseline
• Lose and relaxed motion — slow and then fast

Serving Drills

• Serve @ targets
• Service line progression back towards baseline or pronation progression using more legs
• Miss = fitness penalty
• #s — second serves out of 10
• Serve a set again yourself using lanes — make = win the point; miss = lost the point
• Throwing drills

*First move on the OH is elbow back*
