Many of you members are foot faulting, as a server one is NOT allowed to touch the baseline with either foot while serving. Though many of you have a ‘fluid’ technique for serving, we must all work on this bad habit. It does matter, especially if you are playing in USTA Team Leagues, as well as, participating in Adult Interclub Tennis. The easiest way to fix this problem is to back up a few inches from the baseline and change nothing else. This solution is simple enough and will do the trick.
To find out if you are foot faulting, simply ask your doubles partner to watch you serve a few. As a team, both players should be communicating and helping each other with this bad habit, as well as, any others that may appear. I am available for any consultation about this topic of foot faulting and will be implementing the same in my up-coming tennis clinics.
