Detailed training information will be shared at the first session.

Session 1 – Shots Execution for Doubles

Every Wednesdays | 8:00 – 9:30 PM | Jan. 14 to Mar. 25, 2026
This session sharpens the three shots that decide most important double shots:

Smash – precision, create pressure, not just power
Backhand – turn weak positions into neutral or attacking situations
Defense – build confident, counterattack, and reset the opponent's attack

You will train effective movements, timing, and decision-making so every shot contributes to winning the rally, not just surviving it.
