Week 6
Session Outline
This week, players will focus on learning how to hit the ball with increasing power. The emphasis is on using a full, committed swing to generate strong, purposeful contact. Players will explore how to swing with intent and use their body to produce force, both for shots along the ground and those hit in the air.
Through targeted activities, they’ll learn to balance aggression with control—developing a feel for when to go hard and how to maintain technique under pressure.
Watch each video closely to see how power is generated in the swing, and follow along to build your own ability to strike the ball with confidence.
