Many amateur players are let down by their limited footwork. Too rigid. Too upright. Too planted. Sound familiar? This group coaching day could really help you. I will share practical tips to help you move more efficiently and more effortlessly. I will help you move to those wide balls, short balls and balls aimed in the middle. I will also help you improve your footwork in random rallies. The day will be suitable for players of any age. The focus really will be on practical tips any player can use, rather than high level Olympic performance!
