A doubles drill where all 4 players start at the net without a ball. After a countdown and “GO”, they sprint to their correct doubles positions. The serving team quickly decides who serves, the receiving team decides who returns, and the point is played out as fast as possible. This drill trains positioning, communication, decision-making, and scoring awareness.
Communicate early and clearly during the sprint
Get into the correct doubles formation as fast as possible
Server should prepare quickly but stay controlled
Receiver and partner must recognise their roles immediately
Players should understand the score and who is supposed to serve in a real match situation
Emphasise teamwork and decision-making under pressure
