Drills For Tennis: Warm up and cool down
Warm up
Any sport activity should be preceded by a kind of warm up. Tennis is no exception. An effective warm up increases body temperature, allowing muscles to work effectively, gets the heart and lungs ready for activity and wakes up the nervous system, preparing it for exercise. Despite popular belief warm up should NOT include any kind of static stretching, because long stretching (15 seconds or more) improves elasticity but it reduces the amount of power the muscle can generate, for this reason all static stretching exercises and drills for tennis should be done after the training program as part of the cool down routine.
Warm up should start with 5 to 10 minutes of slow jogging or jumping rope, followed by exercises like shoulder rotations (forwards and backwards), wrist rotations, side steps, crossover steps, high knee lift, lunge walk and short sprints. The best way to do these exercises is on a distance of 10-15 meters (back of the court to the net) with a jog back recovery. 3 to 5 repetitions for each exercise should be enough. You can also include, especially with younger players, some stroke simulation with or without the racket as a part of drills for tennis.
Cool down
Same as warm up, the cool down is a very important routine, it helps your heart rate and breathing return to normal, helps remove waste products (like lactic acid) from your muscles, and it helps the muscle prepare for the next session. Cool down should follow every training program, and should include at least 5 to 10 minutes of slow jogging followed by a session of static stretching.

1. Mini played by two players, each staying in one service box, by the rules o table tennis (ping pong), points to 11, each player serving 2 points. They should use only continental grip, and not being allowed to play spin.

4. Mini played by 4 players, each staying in one service box. Players can hit not only over the net but also in the boxes on the same side. Ball is started by tipping it over the net. Every player has 5 lives, and for every mistake looses one life.
5. Mini played by 4 players. We have 2 teams each using both service boxes as their court. The players have to pass the ball to his team mate (like volleyball), they are not allowed to hit the ball directly to the other side, they have only one pass, so every team mate has to hit the ball once, more or less is considered lost point. The ball can bounce only one time. Every team serves once and they play points to 11. These are few of warm up drills for tennis.
