3 Tennis Footwork Drill Exercises for Faster & Smarter Movement

If your footwork on the tennis court feels sluggish or unsteady, you could be setting yourself up for missed shots, or worse, a long-term injury.

In this video, our Clinical Director Imani Coleman, PT, DPT from JAG Physical Therapy demonstrates three essential tennis footwork drill exercises every athlete should try before they decide to hit the court. The drill exercises in this video include:

• Jumping Lunges
• Side Stepping
• Box Jumps

These tennis footwork drills are designed around building explosive power, coordination, and stability so you can lower your risk of a potential sprain or strain. Make them part of your warm-up routine so you can step onto the court feeling quicker, stronger, and more in control.
