- Before reception, always communicate with your partner, who takes the middle. Don't let that wide smile to your opponent's face, when his easy serve falling untouched between you and your partner.
-When your opponent is serving from the opposite corner of the court, take a half step toward your partner (and your partner also have to take a half step toward the sideline). At diagonal serves, the ball travels longer, so you have more time to react, and vice versa, your partner will have less time. This half step will make her job easier by reducing the area she have to cover.
- Stay back! It's a lot easier to move forward from a deep position, than to take several steps backward.
-At floater serves, try to make contact in a low position. If there is a break in the flight of the ball, it will occur in the last couple of feets.
