Know Your Shots

Serving and Returning

To start a point on the right foot, the first thing you need is the proper positioning for serves and returns. 90%+ of players below a 4.0 level start in the wrong location which puts them at a disadvantage before a point even begins.

Further, most returners don't know how to properly approach the net to take control after their returns. We teach technique and strategies through drills and live game situations.

Dinking

The better you get; the more valuable dinking becomes. We spend a great amount of time on the importance, fundamentals, ready position, shifting, communication, and strategy for winning dinking. We then use several drills and games to build well-rounded players.

3rd/5th Shot Drops

Students will have the techniques, placement, and proper strategies for executing the drops that will get them up to the kitchen line. We also offer some special drills and games that our pros use to continually develop and improve on these skills.

Volleys

We see players make the same types of mistakes which slow their reaction times when it comes to volleys, letting more aggressive players get the best of them. Our pros will show you the proper techniques needed to overcome these mistakes and use drills to build your muscle memory.

Attack Shots

If you want to be more of a threat at the kitchen “non-volley” line, we teach placement and techniques for shove/push drives, passing shots, and offensive lobs. Students love these shots!

Trick Shots

Everyone gets to try their hand at a couple of Erne Shots (from outside the kitchen) and Around-the-Post (ATP) Shots. While these are just short, fun drills, students love these shots and end up incorporating them into their regular game play.
