Working Together, Winning Together

Working together in doubles is extremely important as partners who are able to construct points together will have a much greater advantage over there opponents.

One essential key in working together in doubles is moving with your partner and attacking the net. When both you and your partner are at the net it gives you a much bigger advantage to take charge of and close off the point.

Additionally it may be helpful to stay back with your partner if one of your opponents has a big serve and the net man is poaching all your returns. By staying back in this situation it allows both of you more reaction time, and thus a better opportunity to stay in the point.

A second key aspect to working together in doubles is communication. Communication is key in every match, as it allows you and your partner to let each other know what the other is doing, as well as build each other up mentally, keeping each others head in the match. Also, communication can be helpful to building a rhythm, which can have a great influence on who wins or loses the match.

Good teamwork in doubles is essential as it not only allows for partners to communicate what they're doing to one another, and builds a rhythm but also can allow for a much stronger attack or solid defense.
