Use this plan to teach your players a variety of returns they can use during Doubles Play.

What's in the Session?
To develop your players' doubles game we get players to move to the ball and take responsibility for their side of the court - to do this players start on their own, working within a quarter area of the court. As the session progresses we get players pairing up for the final conditioned game which rewards both process (skillful shot play) and outcome goals (winning the point)!
