Tips

CLOSE RANGE NET POSITIONING - Gerri Viant
Platform Tennis Magazine - September 1999

Your team is at the net and you have accidentally hit a short ball to the deuce court. Your team must cover the two-thirds of the court to which the ball has been hit. Your reaction time is limited when the ball is hit to you at the net from close range. All tournament players and almost all veterans play the net as they do in tennis, in thirds. The benefits to playing the court in thirds are: 1) It enables you to stay out of each other's way.

2) You will avoid making unexpected guest appearances in each other's air space.
3) It eliminates second-guessing ("Is it yours or mine?"). When you hesitate, your opponents will find holes in high percentage areas.
