Preparation for competitive rallies

After you have completed the basic technical skills required (back court deliveries/front court deliveries, etc...), we are now able to start the competitive drills.

There is no training secrets as claimed by different training centres around us. The only training secret is to trained diligently and follow the process till you are very satisfied with yourself. Put it to use in every game and see is there any areas of improvement after every victory or defeat.

From here we will start the rear court coverage. We will apply a 3 point method in every application of the drills.

Coverage of the back court drill begins with a minimum of 3 players. 1 player (The Trainee) will by herself covers both left and right of the back court and also the back hand of the front court. Leaving the forehand front court not covered.

The other 2 players (The Trainer) will be on the opposite of the court. 1 covers the complete front court while the other covers the complete back court.

Rallies begin with the trainer delivering into the 3 points of the trainee's court at random. While the trainee will try to return every shuttle diagonally opposite from the point of the delivery.

This training will be carried out in every training days till the athlete is able to send the shuttles with longer rally time. After which the drill will omit the front backhand and proceed with coverage on the front forehand.

When the whole back court training is completed, the same 3 point method will be applied on the front court coverage.

Hope all of you here will benefit from this 3 point method.
