UpLVL Assessment
3 new notes, 2 earlier notes, and 7 skills interpreted for Kendall's development
UpLVL
Kendall is progressing through the Transition Stage, with Groundstrokes and Tactics & Point Construction emerging as the most reliable parts of the profile. Across this report window, Groundstrokes made the clearest movement while Groundstrokes continued to set the standard. In recent live point construction, Kendall showed more control as the pace increased, stayed connected through tighter decisions, and carried the strongest habits into demanding moments. This shows a developing profile becoming more reliable as the demands increase. The primary priority is Net Game. Kendall now needs to build control and timing before adding more speed and pressure. In the Approach-Volley-Overhead Sequence, Kendall should develop the three-shot net approach sequence, approach shot, first volley, and overhead, as a connected pattern, with one standard throughout: close after every shot, don't stop at the service line. Successful transfer will look like Kendall using net game at full pace without losing control, timing, or awareness of the next option.

Kendall looked more composed between shots. Groundstrokes and Tactics & Point Construction were the clearest separators in this session and created more control in the game. The next push is Net Game and Footwork & Movement so that level holds when the pace lifts, the decisions get tighter, and the game becomes less forgiving.
Coach JordanMar 2
Net Game and Footwork & Movement are the clearest next step. The goal is to keep the same quality when space closes quickly.

How It Works

Develop the three-shot net approach sequence, approach shot, first volley, and overhead, as a connected pattern.

What You Need
tennis rackettennis ballscourtball hoppercones
Mindset Rep
Lock-In Rep

Pick one detail to watch before the rep starts. Run the rep without adding a second focus.

Your Focus

Net play is rarely a single shot; teaching the three-shot sequence builds the tactical understanding that effective net game requires multiple connected decisions.

1
Set Up

Coach feeds a short ball to mid-court; player moves forward and hits an approach shot down the line.

2
Run The Rep
A.
You closes to net (split step at the service line); coach feeds a passing-shot attempt at you who volleys to the open court.
B.
Coach immediately lobs over you; player back-pedals and hits an overhead to a target cone in the opponent's court.
3
Check It

Close after every shot, don't stop at the service line

Goal

Success is completing the full three-shot sequence, approach, first volley, overhead, without stopping between shots.

Helpful Cues
Close after every shot, don't stop at the service lineSplit before each ballOverhead: point at the ball with your non-racket hand
UPLVL IT

Coach can choose to lob or feed a low volley after the first volley, requiring you to read and react.
