Intermediates
About Intermediates
The intermediate-level player can participate in rallies, albeit their consistency varies, and their shots often lack topspin. Their serving is not yet consistent, and they have a stronger forehand than a backhand. While they may have gained valuable playing experience and gotten some coaching, they have yet to compete in high-level club or tournament matches.
Other criteria that distinguish an intermediate-level player are:
-
Understanding fundamental tennis methods and tactics, but with the potential for improvement.
-
Limited ability to execute complex shots including volleys, lobs, and drop shots.
-
Footwork and movement around the court are inconsistent, resulting in occasional placement errors.
-
Developing the ability to successfully anticipate and respond to opponents' shots.
-
They are working hard to enhance their overall consistency and shot accuracy.
-
Seeking to improve their serving technique to have more control and consistency.
-
Working on improving their backhand stroke more reliable and consistent.
-
Exploring the use of topspin and other advanced shot techniques to add variety to their game.
