Key FormulaFormula
Doubles alleys add 4.5 ft width per side.
Practice StandardStandard
3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.
Communicate at Net
Call "mine" or "yours" on every shared ball — silent doubles loses free points.
Poach Strategically
Poach when the returner is stretched wide — not on every point.
Call Lines Clearly
Make loud, early line calls in doubles — hesitation creates conflict and lost points.
Safety Notes
- Warm up for 10 minutes before play to prevent muscle strains.
- Stay hydrated — heat exhaustion risk increases in outdoor play above 30°C (86°F).
