Returning Partner in Doubles

Key Points

• Stand just in front of the service line
• Angle your body and square up to the volleyer so you don’t lose time if they cross
• If you see the volleyer isn’t crossing, start to move forward, close the net and pressure the server
• Closing the net in doubles helps you cut off as many angles as possible, take away space from your opponent, and make yourself as big as possible at the net
