Positioning
To get into the proper court position for an offensive return, watch the
ball at all times, then move as your opponent swings. Remember, you want
to control center court and keep your opponent behind you in a defensive
position. The term "center court" is somewhat of a misnomer because it
doesn't really mean the exact center of the court. Instead, the
"playing" center is about five feet behind the short line and
equidistant from the side walls.
Dominating center court will allow you to capitalize on every mistake
your opponent makes. At center court you have maximum scoring options
from effective shots and you can also cover your opponent's best shots
easier. However, there are times when you must relinquish center court.
The rules state that you must always give up your position to give your
opponent a fair chance to hit the ball.
Two of the best shots for enabling you to take control of center court
are the ceiling ball and the pass or down the line shot. Both of these
defensive shots will require your opponent to move to back court to
return the ball, thus allowing you to move to center court.
