About this event

Learn To Win Doubles

Two solid singles players lose to one real team. This clinic is about playing doubles as a unit: communicating on every ball, knowing who covers what, and running the patterns that win at the rec and tournament level. You'll learn to target the right opponent, take away the middle, and stop the errors that come from two players reaching for the same ball. Four players, 90 minutes. Turn two players into one team.

90-Minute Session Outline (max 4 players)

Warm-up (10 min)

Partnered rallies where the pair practices shifting together side to side. Coach frames the goal: in doubles, positioning and communication beat individual shot-making.

Block 1: Positioning and Moving as a Unit (18 min)

Default positions and connected movement: when one partner is pulled wide, the other slides to cover the middle, and the team advances and retreats together. Never leave the gap between you open. Live reps with the pair moving as one.

Block 2: Communication and Who Takes What (22 min)

The talking that prevents lost points: calling middle balls, "mine" and "yours," switching after a poach or a lob, and in/out calls so you let the out ball go. Backhand generally takes the middle. Reps that force constant communication under coach feed.

Block 3: Team Strategy and Patterns (25 min)

The game plan: target the weaker opponent, hit down the middle to cause confusion, keep the ball away from the strongest net player, and the basics of stacking to protect your best side.
