Serve & Return of Serve 101

The Serve and Return of Serve (ROS) are critical skills that can give you a head start in a rally or game, or immediately put you on the back foot. This clinic is focused on the strategy and approach to the serve and ROS as well as their technical execution. One of the guiding principles of Deliberate Practice is that you can't improve by doing the WRONG thing RIGHT. You need to be doing the RIGHT thing RIGHT.

This clinic will explain in minute detail what steps are needed to perfect your Serve and ROS. It will help with your thought process in building up a killer Serve and ROS — turning a weakness into a weapon and creating an advantage in your overall game!

Suggested for players of all standards, this session will completely change how you see the beginning of a game and how a rally is setup to be won. For social players, you will be able to have longer rallies, instead of getting frustrated by having 1 or 2 shot rallies and getting into the game.
