Great concept and execution. It is similar to teaching katas in karate; a wide variety of choreographed isolated moves that will lead to flexibility and spontaneity in play, coming from a well defined, structured isolated practice. I really like the diversity and identification of the various footwork moves and patterns that are integrated into the rehearsed practice progressions. Good work.
This is interesting, there are two coaches in California who have been doing this and other great footwork and movement drills for the last 15 years. One is a Ukrainian coach named Alexander Kozyrev out of Northern California and teaches at a public court in city Mountain View. The other guy is Sean Abdollahi, real expert in movement and the game of tennis. New to Orange County working at one of the major clubs, but I don't know which one.
