Key FormulaFormula
Split step as opponent strikes ball.
Practice StandardStandard
3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.
Master Fundamentals First
Split step on every opponent contact — it is the foundation of all court movement.
Consistency Over Intensity
Regular moderate practice outperforms occasional marathon hitting sessions.
Court Shoes Required
Use court shoes not running shoes — lateral support prevents ankle rolls.
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).
- Use court shoes not running shoes.
