ALWAYS BE IN PURSUIT 🎯

You should always be in pursuit of the best shot possible.

That means you’re not just thinking about the ball you’re hitting—you’re already thinking ONE SHOT AHEAD.

What is my shot going to create?
Where is the next ball likely to go?
And how am I going to take advantage of it?

When you play with that mentality, hesitation disappears.

Trust your instincts.
See it. Take it. GO.

Because the more opportunities you take, the more confidence you build.

And the more confidence you build, the more opportunities you’ll start to SEE.

TeamForman says:
“Think one shot ahead—and when you see it, TAKE IT.”

THE MIDDLE IS YOURS 🫵

If you’re at net and you don’t own the middle, lots of bad things can happen.

And it’s not just about losing the opportunity to hit a volley.

Watch what happens in this clip đź‘€

The ball gets through the middle and now the server is forced to chase it, pulling them completely out of position.

Now look at the court…

The server AND the net person are suddenly on the same side of the court.

🚨 Half the court is WIDE OPEN.

All because the net person didn’t take ownership of the middle.

Your job at net is to hit a volley

MOVE. HUNT. OWN THE MIDDLE.

That middle ball is YOURS until someone proves otherwise.

TeamForman says:
“Own the middle or give away the court.”

The Do’s and Don’ts of Taking Control

❌ DON’T:
The receiver stays back after the return and allows the server to step in and take charge of the point.

âś… DO:
The same receiver follows her return forward, closes the net and finishes with a volley—never giving the serving team a chance to gain control.

The difference isn’t the return.
It’s what she does after the return.

TeamForman says:
“If you don’t take advantage of your opportunities, your opponents will.”

ANGLE TO THE HOLE

A TeamForman OG tactic!

Hit a sharp-angle return to pull your opponent off the court and create the hole.

Now read what happens next:

🎾 If your opponent comes to the net—hit down the line into the open court.

🎾 If your opponent stays back—go crosscourt and keep them stretched outside the court.

Don’t just hit the ball—create the opening, recognize the opening and attack it!

TeamForman says:
“Create holes—and hit to the holes!”

Grinding through the point—using every shot and every format in the book!

Groundstrokes. Volleys. Lobs. Overheads. Angles. Resets. Defense turning into offense.

One up, one back.
Two in.
Two back.

During a long point, court position and momentum can change over and over. One second you’re attacking, the next you’re defending—and then one shot gives you the opportunity to take control again.

The moral of the story?

Stay in the point. Keep adjusting. Keep coming. The team that refuses to back down—and refuses to puss out—will eventually create the opening and win the point!

TeamForman says: DPO! 🎾🔥
“For the rest of your life”

A GAME OF OPPORTUNITIES 🎾

It takes just ONE shot to take control of the point.

Force yourself to be proactive instead of reactive—create the opportunity before your opponents create it for you.

The player who takes control first has a much higher probability of winning the point.

TeamForman says:
“Don’t let it happen—MAKE IT HAPPEN!”

CONTROL 🎾

If you can control both the receiving side and the serving side, you control the match!

Two clips.
Two different outcomes.

The difference?

The receiver’s decision after the serve:

Come in—or stay back?

That one decision determines the formation, the court position and who takes control of the point.

TeamForman says:

“2 in. 2 win!” 🔥

Do you hate losing more than you love winning?

Then find a way to NEVER give up!

This mentality is TeamForman mandatory.

Play every point from start to finish with the same hunger to win—whether it’s the first point or match point.

Chase every ball.
Fight for every shot.
Find a way to get it back over the net.

Because as long as the ball comes back, you’re still in the point.

TeamForman says:
“One more ball can change the entire point.”

YOUR SHOTS ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR REACTION TO THEM.

Hitting a great shot is only the first part of the job.

The second part—and often the most important part—is reacting to what your shot created.

Did your shot push your opponent back?
Did it pull them off the court?
Did it force them to hit up?
Did it create an opening for you to move forward?

If the answer is yes, you need to recognize it immediately and move into the right court position.

In this clip, Hilary hits a great return that puts her opponents under pressure. But instead of reacting and moving in, she stays back and watches her shot.

That hesitation changes the entire point.

If she moves forward behind the return, the next ball becomes an easy volley—and the point could be over within one more hit.

Instead, she gives up the opening, allows her opponents to recover and the point resets back to neutral.

TeamForman says:

“YOU’RE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR REACTION TO YOUR SHOTS.”

A great shot creates the opportunity.
Your movement is what cashes it in. 🎾🔥
