Agassi

Andre Agassi has been a favorite player since we saw his dazzling play when he was ten years old.

i decided to name this drill after him.

The coach hand feeds 4 balls and the first ball is …

Average speed.   The second is…

Accelerated

and the third and fourth are…

Agassi

Ask players which was the most fun.

Then toss five balls and the last three are Agassi.

Have the player hold their finish on the last ball and say ‘one thousand and one.’

Have other kids play catch with weighted medicine ball so they involve the kinetic chain when it’s their turn to do Agassi.

Flailing is not the goal hence the 1001 and medicine ball.

When doing the backhand, have racquet pointed to side fence and only begin when left hand is in continental grip.
