During highly competitive matches, 1 or 2 balls can make a difference in the final result. It means that players have to practice different difficult situations that can occur during tournament situations. Approaching the net after hitting from the alley happens from time to time during the match so players have to be ready to answer this obstacle successfully.

The coach should emphasize down the line direction of the shot to have a bigger chance to win the point at the net.
