1. Lift your knees to about hip height with each step.
2. Land softly on the balls of your feet — no stomping.
3. Keep your arms swinging naturally at your sides.
4. Stay relaxed — this is warm-up, not a sprint.

1. High knees: drive each knee up to hip height as fast as you can, pumping your arms.
2. Butt kicks: kick your heel up behind you to try to touch your butt, alternating legs fast.
3. Stay on the balls of your feet for both.
4. These wake up your hip muscles and quads — key for running wide balls.

1. Stand beside a wall and hold it lightly with one hand.
2. Forward/back: swing your outside leg forward and back like a pendulum, 10 times.
3. Side to side: swing the same leg across your body and out to the side, 10 times.
4. Switch sides. Keep the swing relaxed — momentum, not muscle.

💡 Tip: these open up your hips and hamstrings — critical for wide lunges in tennis.

1. Arms out to the sides, make big circles forward for 10 reps.
2. Reverse — big circles backward for 10 reps.
3. Then roll your shoulders forward 10 times, then backward 10 times.
4. These warm up your shoulder muscles — important before any swinging.

1. Inchworm: stand tall → bend and put hands on floor → walk hands out to a plank → walk feet back to hands → stand up. That's one.
2. Lunge with rotation: step forward with right foot into a lunge → twist your upper body to the right, arms out → twist back → return to standing.
3. 5 inchworms, then 5 lunges each side.
4. These are probably the best warm-up exercises for tennis — they open hips, hamstrings, and upper back all at once.

⚠️ Common mistake on the lunge: leaning forward. Keep your torso upright as you twist.

1. Stand about 1 metre from a flat wall, ball in your right hand.
2. Throw it underhand against the wall with medium force.
3. Watch the ball the whole way — track it like a real tennis shot coming at you.
4. Catch it with your right hand as it comes back.
5. Count 30 seconds. How many can you catch without dropping? Try to beat it next time.

⚠️ Common mistake: throwing too hard. Medium pace is easier to track and builds better focus.

1. Hold one tennis ball in both hands at shoulder height in front of you.
2. Drop the ball — just open your hands and let it fall straight down.
3. The moment the ball leaves your hands, clap once.
4. Then catch the ball with both hands before it bounces a second time.
5. Once you can do 10 in a row, try to clap twice before catching.

💡 Tip: start with the ball lower (waist height) if shoulder height is too fast. The lower the drop, the harder it is.

1. Hold one ball in each hand, arms at your sides.
2. Toss your RIGHT ball up about 40cm.
3. Half a second later, toss your LEFT ball up.
4. Catch right, then catch left. Keep going without stopping.
5. Count consecutive catches without dropping. Target: 10 in a row.

⚠️ Common mistake: tossing both balls at the same time. Right goes FIRST — left follows half a second later.

1. Lie on your back. Arms pointed straight up at the ceiling. Knees bent 90°, lifted off the floor (like you're sitting in a chair upside down).
2. Press your lower back firmly into the floor — keep it there the whole time.
3. Slowly lower your right arm behind your head AND your left leg toward the floor at the same time.
4. Stop before your back arches. Bring them back up. Switch sides.
5. 5 reps per side = 1 set. Go very slow — this is harder than it looks.

⚠️ Common mistake: letting your lower back lift off the floor. If that happens, you've gone too far — shorten the range of motion.

1. Lie on your right side. Prop yourself up on your right forearm — elbow under your shoulder.
2. Stack your feet or put one in front of the other for more stability.
3. Lift your hips so your body is a straight line from head to feet.
4. Hold for 20 seconds. Don't let your hips sag.
5. Switch to the left side. That's 1 set.

💡 Tip: side plank trains the core muscles that keep your body stable when you swing — really important for power.

1. Kneel on your right knee, left foot forward — like a lunge but your back knee stays on the floor.
2. Put both hands together at chest height, arms straight out in front of you.
3. Rotate your upper body to the LEFT as far as you can — lead with your eyes and shoulders.
4. Hold for 1 second at the end, then rotate back to the front.
5. 8 reps rotating left, then switch legs (right foot forward) and do 8 reps rotating right.

💡 The kneeling position locks your hips in place so all the rotation comes from your upper body — exactly the separation you need for a powerful forehand.

1. Hold a resistance band in your right hand. Anchor the other end to a door handle or hold it with your left hand.
2. Elbow bent 90°, tucked against your side — keep it there the whole time.
3. Rotate your forearm outward (away from your body) as far as you can.
4. Return slowly. That's one rep.
5. 10 reps per arm. This is the #1 shoulder-protection exercise for tennis players.

💡 Tip: use a light band. This is not about strength — it's about protecting the shoulder muscles. Light = right.

1. Hold a resistance band in both hands, arms straight out in front of you at shoulder height.
2. Pull the band apart by spreading your arms wide, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the end.
3. Return slowly to start. That's one rep.
4. 15 reps per set, 2 sets.
5. These train the muscles that keep your shoulder stable during every serve and overhead.

💡 Tip: keep your arms straight the whole time — don't bend your elbows.

1. Sit cross-legged on the floor, back straight.
2. Place your right hand on your left knee and your left hand on the floor behind you.
3. Rotate your upper body to the left and look behind you. Hold 2 seconds.
4. Come back to centre, switch sides.
5. 10 rotations per side.

💡 This is the exact rotation your upper back makes on every serve and forehand. Keeping it mobile means more power and less shoulder strain.

1. Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat.
2. Cross your right ankle over your left knee (making a figure-4 shape).
3. Pull your left thigh toward your chest — you'll feel a stretch in your right glute.
4. Hold 30 seconds, switch sides.

💡 Strong, flexible glutes help you push off in any direction without back pain.

1. Lift your knees to about hip height with each step.
2. Land softly on the balls of your feet — no stomping.
3. Keep your arms swinging naturally at your sides.
4. Stay relaxed — this is warm-up, not a sprint.

1. High knees: drive each knee up to hip height as fast as you can, pumping your arms.
2. Butt kicks: kick your heel up behind you to try to touch your butt, alternating legs fast.
3. Stay on the balls of your feet for both.
4. These wake up your hip muscles and quads — key for running wide balls.

1. Stand beside a wall and hold it lightly with one hand.
2. Forward/back: swing your outside leg forward and back like a pendulum, 10 times.
3. Side to side: swing the same leg across your body and out to the side, 10 times.
4. Switch sides. Keep the swing relaxed — momentum, not muscle.

💡 Tip: these open up your hips and hamstrings — critical for wide lunges in tennis.

1. Arms out to the sides, make big circles forward for 10 reps.
2. Reverse — big circles backward for 10 reps.
3. Then roll your shoulders forward 10 times, then backward 10 times.
4. These warm up your shoulder muscles — important before any swinging.

1. Inchworm: stand tall → bend and put hands on floor → walk hands out to a plank → walk feet back to hands → stand up. That's one.
2. Lunge with rotation: step forward with right foot into a lunge → twist your upper body to the right, arms out → twist back → return to standing.
3. 5 inchworms, then 5 lunges each side.
4. These are probably the best warm-up exercises for tennis — they open hips, hamstrings, and upper back all at once.

⚠️ Common mistake on the lunge: leaning forward. Keep your torso upright as you twist.

1. Stand at the start of the ladder, feet hip-width apart.
2. Step your right foot into square one, then bring your left foot in beside it.
3. Step your right foot out the top, left foot follows.
4. Move to the next square and repeat all the way down.
5. Stay on the balls of your feet — don't flat-foot or stomp.

⚠️ Common mistake: looking down at your feet. Eyes forward — your feet will learn the pattern on their own.

1. Stand beside the ladder facing sideways, left shoulder toward the far end.
2. Step your left foot into the first square, bring your right foot in beside it.
3. Step left out the other side, right follows — you've cleared one square.
4. Keep shuffling sideways to the end, then come back the other way.
5. Hips stay low throughout — don't pop up between squares.

⚠️ Common mistake: crossing your feet. It's a shuffle only — feet never cross in front of each other.

1. Stand beside the ladder facing sideways.
2. Step your near foot IN to the square, then far foot IN — both feet inside.
3. Step near foot OUT (past the ladder), then far foot OUT — both feet outside.
4. Shift one square forward and repeat.
5. Walk it first to learn the pattern, then build up speed.

⚠️ Common mistake: rushing before you know the rhythm. Slow walk-through first, speed comes later.

1. Stand beside the ladder facing sideways.
2. Step your near foot into the first square.
3. Cross your far foot in front of your body into the same square.
4. Step near foot out the other side, far foot follows normally.
5. Keep shoulders facing forward — only your legs do the crossing.

⚠️ Common mistake: rotating your hips with the cross. Shoulders stay square; only the feet move.

1. Set up 4 cones: one at the start (A), one 9 metres ahead (B), one 4.5 metres left of B (C), one 4.5 metres right of B (D). They form a T shape.
2. Sprint from A to B.
3. Shuffle left to C — touch the cone with your left hand.
4. Shuffle all the way right to D — touch with your right hand.
5. Shuffle back to B, then backpedal to A.
6. Go as fast as you can. Aim for under 12 seconds.

⚠️ Always shuffle — never cross your feet. The T-drill is used to test agility at every level of tennis.

1. Place 3 cones in a straight line, 5 metres apart (A — B — C). Start at the middle cone B.
2. Sprint 5 metres to cone C. Touch it.
3. Sprint 10 metres all the way to cone A. Touch it.
4. Sprint 5 metres back to cone B (the middle).
5. That's 1 run. Do 4 total, alternating which direction you start.

💡 This trains deceleration and direction change — exactly what happens when you chase a drop shot then recover for the passing shot.

1. Place 2 cones 3 metres apart.
2. Run around the first cone, weave to the second, run around it, weave back — you're drawing a figure 8 on the ground.
3. Stay low with bent knees. The goal is tight, fast turns.
4. Do 6 full loops, rest, then do 6 more going the other direction first.

💡 Focus on the turns — plant hard on the outside foot and push off to change direction. This is what you do running around a short ball.

1. Stand at your imaginary centre baseline position.
2. Hop into a split step — land wide, knees bent, weight on the balls of your feet.
3. The instant you land, push off hard sideways and sprint 3 steps.
4. Plant your outside foot and swing a full shadow forehand or backhand.
5. Jog back to centre. Alternate right (forehand) and left (backhand) each rep.

💡 Tip: the sprint should be all-out explosive — imagine the ball was just hit to the corner and you have 1 second to get there.

1. Lift your knees to about hip height with each step.
2. Land softly on the balls of your feet — no stomping.
3. Keep your arms swinging naturally at your sides.
4. Stay relaxed — this is warm-up, not a sprint.

1. High knees: drive each knee up to hip height as fast as you can, pumping your arms.
2. Butt kicks: kick your heel up behind you to try to touch your butt, alternating legs fast.
3. Stay on the balls of your feet for both.
4. These wake up your hip muscles and quads — key for running wide balls.

1. Stand beside a wall and hold it lightly with one hand.
2. Forward/back: swing your outside leg forward and back like a pendulum, 10 times.
3. Side to side: swing the same leg across your body and out to the side, 10 times.
4. Switch sides. Keep the swing relaxed — momentum, not muscle.

💡 Tip: these open up your hips and hamstrings — critical for wide lunges in tennis.

1. Arms out to the sides, make big circles forward for 10 reps.
2. Reverse — big circles backward for 10 reps.
3. Then roll your shoulders forward 10 times, then backward 10 times.
4. These warm up your shoulder muscles — important before any swinging.

1. Inchworm: stand tall → bend and put hands on floor → walk hands out to a plank → walk feet back to hands → stand up. That's one.
2. Lunge with rotation: step forward with right foot into a lunge → twist your upper body to the right, arms out → twist back → return to standing.
3. 5 inchworms, then 5 lunges each side.
4. These are probably the best warm-up exercises for tennis — they open hips, hamstrings, and upper back all at once.

⚠️ Common mistake on the lunge: leaning forward. Keep your torso upright as you twist.

1. Hands slightly wider than shoulders, fingers pointing forward.
2. Lower your chest to the floor — whole body moves as one unit.
3. Push back up to full arm extension.
4. If you can't do 8 with good form, do them from your knees — that's fine.
5. 3 sets of 8 with a 45-second rest between sets.

⚠️ Common mistake: hips sagging or shooting up. Keep your whole body as one straight line.

1. Step your right foot forward, left foot back — like a lunge but you don't move your feet during the set.
2. Lower your back knee slowly toward the floor — count 3 seconds down.
3. Stop just before your knee touches the floor.
4. Drive through your front heel and rise back up quickly.
5. Do 6 reps, then switch legs.

⚠️ Common mistake: front knee caving inward. Push it out over your 2nd toe the whole way down.

1. Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor hip-width apart.
2. Press your feet into the floor and drive your hips up until your body is a straight line from knees to shoulders.
3. Squeeze your glutes hard at the top and hold for 2 seconds.
4. Lower slowly and repeat.
5. Do 10 reps. Your glutes power every sprint and direction change in tennis.

💡 Tip: if this is too easy, try it with one leg at a time — single-leg glute bridge.

1. Hold a resistance band in both hands, arms straight out in front of you at shoulder height.
2. Pull the band apart by spreading your arms wide, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the end.
3. Return slowly to start. That's one rep.
4. 15 reps per set, 2 sets.
5. These train the muscles that keep your shoulder stable during every serve and overhead.

💡 Tip: keep your arms straight the whole time — don't bend your elbows.

1. Kneel on your right knee, left foot forward — like a lunge but your back knee stays on the floor.
2. Put both hands together at chest height, arms straight out in front of you.
3. Rotate your upper body to the LEFT as far as you can — lead with your eyes and shoulders.
4. Hold for 1 second at the end, then rotate back to the front.
5. 8 reps rotating left, then switch legs (right foot forward) and do 8 reps rotating right.

💡 The kneeling position locks your hips in place so all the rotation comes from your upper body — exactly the separation you need for a powerful forehand.

1. Lie on your back. Arms pointed straight up at the ceiling. Knees bent 90°, lifted off the floor (like you're sitting in a chair upside down).
2. Press your lower back firmly into the floor — keep it there the whole time.
3. Slowly lower your right arm behind your head AND your left leg toward the floor at the same time.
4. Stop before your back arches. Bring them back up. Switch sides.
5. 5 reps per side = 1 set. Go very slow — this is harder than it looks.

⚠️ Common mistake: letting your lower back lift off the floor. If that happens, you've gone too far — shorten the range of motion.

1. Sit on the floor. Extend your right leg straight, bend your left knee with foot tucked in.
2. Sit up tall, then hinge forward from your hips (not your lower back) toward your right foot.
3. Reach as far as comfortable. Hold 30 seconds.
4. Switch legs.

⚠️ Don't round your back to reach further — hinge from your hips. You'll feel it more in the right place.

1. Sit cross-legged on the floor, back straight.
2. Place your right hand on your left knee and your left hand on the floor behind you.
3. Rotate your upper body to the left and look behind you. Hold 2 seconds.
4. Come back to centre, switch sides.
5. 10 rotations per side.

💡 This is the exact rotation your upper back makes on every serve and forehand. Keeping it mobile means more power and less shoulder strain.

1. Lift your knees to about hip height with each step.

3. Side to side: swing the same leg across your body and out to the side, 10 times.
4. Switch sides. Keep the swing relaxed — momentum, not muscle.

💡 Tip: these open up your hips and hamstrings — critical for wide lunges in tennis.

1. Arms out to the sides, make big circles forward for 10 reps.
2. Reverse — big circles backward for 10 reps.
3. Then roll your shoulders forward 10 times, then backward 10 times.
4. These warm up your shoulder muscles — important before any swinging.

1. Inchworm: stand tall → bend and put hands on floor → walk hands out to a plank → walk feet back to hands → stand up. That's one.
2. Lunge with rotation: step forward with right foot into a lunge → twist your upper body to the right, arms out → twist back → return to standing.
3. 5 inchworms, then 5 lunges each side.
4. These are probably the best warm-up exercises for tennis — they open hips, hamstrings, and upper back all at once.

⚠️ Common mistake on the lunge: leaning forward. Keep your torso upright as you twist.

1. Stand in ready position. Place a cone about 3–4 metres to your right.
2. Hop into a split step — land wide, knees bent.
3. The instant you land, push off to the right with your left foot and crossover run to the cone.
4. At the cone, plant your outside foot and swing a shadow forehand.
5. Shuffle sideways back to start — don't turn and run, shuffle.
6. 10 reps to the right (forehand), then move the cone to the left and do 10 backhand side.

💡 This is the single most tennis-specific drill in this plan. The split-step → push → swing is exactly what you do on every point.

1. Stand beside the ladder facing sideways, left shoulder toward the far end.
2. Step your left foot into the first square, bring your right foot in beside it.
3. Step left out the other side, right follows — you've cleared one square.
4. Keep shuffling sideways to the end, then come back the other way.
5. Hips stay low throughout — don't pop up between squares.

⚠️ Common mistake: crossing your feet. It's a shuffle only — feet never cross in front of each other.

1. Stand beside the ladder facing sideways.
2. Step your near foot into the first square.
3. Cross your far foot in front of your body into the same square.
4. Step near foot out the other side, far foot follows normally.
5. Keep shoulders facing forward — only your legs do the crossing.

⚠️ Common mistake: rotating your hips with the cross. Shoulders stay square; only the feet move.

1. Stand beside the 20" box on your left side, feet together.
2. Bend your knees slightly to load.
3. Jump sideways to the right, lead with your right foot, land on top with both feet.
4. Land soft with bent knees, then step down the other side.
5. Turn around and go back. That's one rep each direction.

⚠️ Common mistake: twisting your upper body in the air. Keep hips and shoulders square the whole time.

1. Stand on your right foot, knee slightly bent.
2. Push off sideways to the left — like a speed skater pushing off the ice.
3. Land on your left foot only, knee bent, and hold for 1 full second without touching the other foot down.
4. Then push back to the right. That's 2 jumps (1 each side).
5. 3 sets of 10 total jumps. Rest 45 seconds between sets.

⚠️ This is the most tennis-specific exercise in the whole plan. Every time you lunge wide for a ball you're doing this exact movement. Land soft — knees bent, no loud thump.

1. Place your right foot flat on top of the 20" box, left foot stays on the floor.
2. Push through your right heel and stand up onto the box.
3. As you rise, drive your left knee up fast to hip height.
4. Hold the top for one second — stay tall, don't lean forward.
5. Step back down slowly. Do all reps on the right, then switch to left.

⚠️ Common mistake: leaning forward as you push up. Keep your chest up and back straight.

1. Stand at your imaginary centre baseline position.
2. Hop into a split step — land wide, knees bent, weight on the balls of your feet.
3. The instant you land, push off hard sideways and sprint 3 steps.
4. Plant your outside foot and swing a full shadow forehand or backhand.
5. Jog back to centre. Alternate right (forehand) and left (backhand) each rep.

💡 Tip: the sprint should be all-out explosive — imagine the ball was just hit to the corner and you have 1 second to get there.

1. Step your right foot forward into a low lunge. Back knee rests on the floor.
2. Keep your chest tall — don't lean forward.
3. Push your hips forward slightly until you feel a stretch at the front of your left hip.
4. Hold 30 seconds, then switch sides.

💡 Hip muscles tighten during sprint and plyo work. Stretching them keeps your stride long and free.

1. Stand facing a wall, hands on it for support.
2. Step your right foot back about 60cm, keeping it flat on the floor.
3. Lean your hips toward the wall until you feel a stretch in your right calf.
4. Hold 30 seconds, then switch legs.

💡 Tight calves are one of the top causes of ankle rolls in young tennis players.

1. Lift your knees to about hip height with each step.
2. Land softly on the balls of your feet — no stomping.
3. Keep your arms swinging naturally at your sides.
4. Stay relaxed — this is warm-up, not a sprint.

1. High knees: drive each knee up to hip height as fast as you can, pumping your arms.
2. Butt kicks: kick your heel up behind you to try to touch your butt, alternating legs fast.
3. Stay on the balls of your feet for both.
4. These wake up your hip muscles and quads — key for running wide balls.

1. Stand beside a wall and hold it lightly with one hand.
2. Forward/back: swing your outside leg forward and back like a pendulum, 10 times.
3. Side to side: swing the same leg across your body and out to the side, 10 times.
4. Switch sides. Keep the swing relaxed — momentum, not muscle.

💡 Tip: these open up your hips and hamstrings — critical for wide lunges in tennis.

1. Arms out to the sides, make big circles forward for 10 reps.
2. Reverse — big circles backward for 10 reps.
3. Then roll your shoulders forward 10 times, then backward 10 times.
4. These warm up your shoulder muscles — important before any swinging.

1. Inchworm: stand tall → bend and put hands on floor → walk hands out to a plank → walk feet back to hands → stand up. That's one.
2. Lunge with rotation: step forward with right foot into a lunge → twist your upper body to the right, arms out → twist back → return to standing.
3. 5 inchworms, then 5 lunges each side.
4. These are probably the best warm-up exercises for tennis — they open hips, hamstrings, and upper back all at once.

⚠️ Common mistake on the lunge: leaning forward. Keep your torso upright as you twist.

1. Stand in ready position, ball in your right hand.
2. Drop the ball in front and slightly to your right (forehand side).
3. Watch it hit the floor and bounce up — track it all the way.
4. As it rises to waist height, swing a full shadow forehand through it (don't actually hit it).
5. 10 forehands (ball drops to the right), then 10 backhands (ball drops to the left).

💡 Tip: time your swing so your hand passes through the ball at waist height — exactly like a real shot.

1. Hold one ball in each hand, arms at your sides.
2. Toss your RIGHT ball up about 40cm.
3. Half a second later, toss your LEFT ball up.
4. Catch right, then catch left. Keep going without stopping.
5. Count consecutive catches without dropping. Target: 10 in a row.

⚠️ Common mistake: tossing both balls at the same time. Right goes FIRST — left follows half a second later.

1. Start in ready position — feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
2. Rotate your shoulders to the right (unit turn) — this is your backswing.
3. Drive forward fast — swing through the hitting zone and finish hands high over your left shoulder.
4. Snap back to ready position immediately after each swing.
5. All 20 reps with full effort — fast and powerful, no breaks.

⚠️ Common mistake: only swinging your arm. Power comes from rotating your whole upper body, not just the arm.

1. Ready position — both hands on your imaginary grip.
2. Rotate your shoulders to the LEFT — right shoulder points toward the net.
3. Drive both hands forward and through the hitting zone.
4. Finish high — both hands end up over your right shoulder.
5. Reset to ready position immediately and repeat.

⚠️ Common mistake: only using one hand. Both hands should drive the swing together on a two-handed backhand.

1. Stand facing a wall, hands on it for support.
2. Step your right foot back about 60cm, keeping it flat on the floor.
3. Lean your hips toward the wall until you feel a stretch in your right calf.
4. Hold 30 seconds, then switch legs.

💡 Tight calves are one of the top causes of ankle rolls in young tennis players.

1. Step your right foot forward into a low lunge. Back knee rests on the floor.
2. Keep your chest tall — don't lean forward.
3. Push your hips forward slightly until you feel a stretch at the front of your left hip.
4. Hold 30 seconds, then switch sides.

💡 Hip muscles tighten during sprint and plyo work. Stretching them keeps your stride long and free.

1. Sit on the floor. Extend your right leg straight, bend your left knee with foot tucked in.
2. Sit up tall, then hinge forward from your hips (not your lower back) toward your right foot.
3. Reach as far as comfortable. Hold 30 seconds.
4. Switch legs.

⚠️ Don't round your back to reach further — hinge from your hips. You'll feel it more in the right place.

1. Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat.
2. Cross your right ankle over your left knee (making a figure-4 shape).
3. Pull your left thigh toward your chest — you'll feel a stretch in your right glute.
4. Hold 30 seconds, switch sides.

💡 Strong, flexible glutes help you push off in any direction without back pain.

1. Sit cross-legged on the floor, back straight.
2. Place your right hand on your left knee and your left hand on the floor behind you.
3. Rotate your upper body to the left and look behind you. Hold 2 seconds.
4. Come back to centre, switch sides.
5. 10 rotations per side.

💡 This is the exact rotation your upper back makes on every serve and forehand. Keeping it mobile means more power and less shoulder strain.
