NEUTRALIZING OPPONENTS TO GAIN THE ADVANTAGE
SERVE & ATTACK Take control of the point from the very first shot. Focus on developing an aggressive and strategic approach to serving, returning, and attacking opportunities early in the rally. WINNING THE FIRST 3 SHOTS The first three shots often determine who controls the point. Focus on building strong habits around the serve, return, and third shot to improve consistency and competitive success. DINKING UNDER PRESSURE Dinking is more than just keeping the ball in play, it’s about control, patience, and creating opportunities to attack. Focus on live drills and competitive scenarios that help players stay calm and effective during extended kitchen exchanges. NEUTRALIZING YOUR OPPONENTS TO GAIN THE ADVANTAGE Learn how to outsmart your opponents and take control of the game through strategy, positioning, and smart decision-making. This small-group clinic focuses on poaching, changing the pace of play, partner coverage, and how to respond when momentum is not on your side. Perfect for players looking to improve match play awareness and competitive confidence.
