Top 10 Doubles Strategies

Here are my “Top 10 Doubles Strategies” to help you win more doubles matches:
•
1. Be sure to position yourself in the correct place on the court before the point starts.
•
2. Hit the ball to the opponent who’s standing where you’re standing.
•
3. When at the net, move like the ball is a magnet.
•
4. When at the net and the ball is behind you, be sure to look at the opposing net player since they’ll be the first opponent who can hit the ball at you.
•
5. Move left and right with your partner to help cover 100% of the court 100% of the time.
•
6. When you successfully lob your opponent be sure to quickly move to the service line as a team.
•
7. When you are lobbed and need to switch be sure to move back diagonally into no-mans land or the baseline.
•
8. One up one back is the worst way to play, both back is the second best, and both up is the best way to play.
•
9. Predict where you opponent will hit the ball by noticing which side of their they’re hitting on. When player hit on their right side they tend to pull the ball to the left...and when hitting on their left side they tend to pull the ball to the right. It makes no difference whether they’re right or left handed.
•
10. Quickly talk with your partner in between points to talk aiming and positioning strategies.
