  • Repeat the main action: A player hits the ball so it bounces into another zone; the receiving player hits it after one bounce.
  • Check the focus point: Watching the ball’s path, bounce and speed; adjusting position and hitting angle.
  • Use the stated variation if practice needs to change: Use a palm instead of a racquet or vary the playing area and ball size.
