Hi, this is Minoru. As you know the footwork is very important in tennis. I had an opportunity to check on the kids during the Junior Challenge and noticed that even though they have mastered their swings and be able to understand how they want their forms to be..then when it's time for them to move around and hit some balls, they were so unbalanced and could not move well...
Made me realize that it is very important to do more and right training on their foot movements.。
The basic moves start from basic run, instant quick stop then short,quick run, and jumps.
These moves will strengthen the legs which will help improve the speed.
The other training include using the ladder.
The ladder training helps your foot movements. Stable but quick steps.
Tennis requires a lot of side steps and movement (start and stop).
It is very important to have right kind of shoes.
That is why you must have a pair of tennis shoes. The right pair help to bring the best move and less pressure on your body and can concentrate on your training.
The tennis shoes are made to fit the tennis move. So it does not give any unnecessary movement therefore you can avoid unnecessary injuries.
I strongly recommend for the juniors to have a pair of good tennis shoes too.
We do sell shoes by Yonex at Sanwa Academy.
