Groundstrokes and Tactics & Point Construction are already showing up as meaningful strengths through live point construction, and those strengths are beginning to raise the quality of every rep. The next jump is Net Game.
Kendall is doing well with backhand, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Kendall has moved Net Game from Consistent into Competitive. Net game creates real pressure. Poaching on the doubles line. Put-away volleys from difficult positions.

Milestones show progress in a specific skill. Players usually move through milestones with age, practice, and better game understanding.
Stages describe the player’s broader development level. They are based on the average of all skill milestones in the report.
Skills may be at different milestones. The overall stage shows the player’s combined development over time.
The player is building the base. Coaches are looking for understanding, effort, and cleaner reps before expecting the skill to show up consistently in games.

Kendall's Skill Build: Net Game
Your drill this week: Approach-Volley-Overhead Sequence
Develop the three-shot net approach sequence, approach shot, first volley, and overhead, as a connected pattern.
Pick one detail to watch before the rep starts. Run the rep without adding a second 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.
Coach feeds a short ball to mid-court; player moves forward and hits an approach shot down the line.
Close after every shot, don't stop at the service line
Success is completing the full three-shot sequence, approach, first volley, overhead, without stopping between shots.
Coach can choose to lob or feed a low volley after the first volley, requiring you to read and react.
