Sprint shuffle
prepared by Dave Gary, USPTA

 

Type: Multiple court Category: Conditioning

Levels: All Time/players: Varies

Description and goals:

Players start on the doubles sideline of court No. 1. Coach says "Go" and players sprint toward the end court. Coach will say "Stop" and players will stop, face the net and shuffle back toward the start line. Coach will then say "Go" and players will sprint toward end court. Keep repeating until players get to end court. Coach decides how long this takes. Repeat from the end court back to the start. Make sure players face the same direction when shuffling so as to work the shuffle step in both directions.

Organization:

Top half of courts show how all the players work their way from right to left. The bottom half of the courts show how all players work their way back from left to right.
