with Bruce Gullikson,
Tennis Professional 98th Street Athletic Club (MN)

Bruce Gullikson believes that coaches are always looking for new ways to teach the game. With this in mind, he shares many new and creative drills and games for improved tennis. Coach Gullikson starts with five warm-up drills to prepare for live play. The drill session begin with Z drills. In this 2-minute drill, two players hit straight ahead while two hit cross court. From there he moves to 2-on-1 drills to work on baseline technique, net play and endurance. Two-on-two drills include Davis Cup, corner feed, smash feed, lob doubles, go drill, Macci drill and the nasty feed drill. These drills are very demanding and push players to play while fatigued. The third drill segment includes 1-on-1 drills and games. This drill package presents variety and individual competition. This DVD concludes with several large group games. Dozens of innovative, fundamental drills make this excellent presentation on tennis drills and games a valuable coaching tool!
