Objective:
Doubles at its best is a game of teamwork and tactics. Eye Formation is one way for doubles teams to confuse their opponents and gain the upper hand.
Instruction :
Eye formation involves the net player crouching down in the centre of the court as the server delivers. Before the point is played out the team members decide if the net player will move to the forehand or backhand court.
As in the last Practice Match variation the coach must train the players to move at the exact right time, early enough to make position, but late enough that the return player cannot adjust their stroke.
Details :
4 players. This formation is best practiced in conjunction with the serve volley. Matches can be tie breakers, sets or modified scoring (each game starts at 30-30) depending on time available.
