A popular method of implicit learning that convey shots with topspin, forces long rallies, balls played deep into the court,… is a change in the framework conditions through an increase of the net.

However, this usually only refers to a higher, parallel-tensioned belt or net..

But there are more ways to change constraints: A net that is higher or lower in the middle than at the sidelines, or a net elevation running from left/right to right/left, requires adjustments in technique and tactics.

The results? Let your players play and wait for their creativity.

Was wir als Coaches zuerst lernen sollten, ist die Klappe zu halten. Lernen ist leise.

 „If I ask somebody, who is well practiced in going stairs up and down, to pay attention to the bending angle of his knee joints, I must not be surprised, when he is landing on his nose.“ (Frercks Hartwig)

„Wenn ich jemanden, der geübt im Treppenlaufen ist, darum bitte, beim Treppen laufen auf den Beugungswinkel seiner Kniegelenke zu achten, dann muß ich mich nicht wundern, wenn er auf der Nase landet.“
