Drills occur on anywhere from 2 to 5 courts (based on the number of total participants) with 8 players each. Each court has a tennis pro guiding you through these vigorous activities. You’ll start with warm-up activities to get your body moving and the blood pumping. Then, every 15 minutes, you’ll switch to a new challenging and entertaining mini-game!

How do tennis drills help me?

Tennis is a sport that requires both physical and mental stamina and especially, muscle memory. It’s important for tennis players to consistently engage in drills that help you develop both cardio fitness and skills necessary to play a long match. Tennis drills help with this, as well as expanding tennis skills such as footwork, swings, volleys, backhands, and court coverage. You’ll also improve your hand-eye coordination, concentration, stamina, timing, team play, and muscle memory while decreasing the likelihood of injuries.

What are some examples of drills?

There are a ton of different drills and mini-games. These are just some examples of drills you may experience at Parham Bridges.

  • 2 up, 2 back: A mini tennis game practiced with 2 players at the net and 2 players at the serving line.
  • Ball chases
  • Volley drills
  • Lob and overhead drills
  • We typically finish with Bump the Chump: A favorite involving quick matches that require two points in a row to knock the winner out, and then sprinting to the other side of the court to prepare for your next round.

How are the drills organized?

The tennis drills at Parham Bridges are organized by skill level. Drills take place on anywhere between 2 and 5 courts, depending on response. The courts are divided by skill level, ranging from beginner to 4.0+ and above. The breakdown of levels may change each time to accommodate the varying number of people in each level on any given day.
