BE AN EFFECTIVE RETURNER FOR BIG SERVERS; Coach Stefano Ianni will show you how. Adjustment is the key: step back, maintain form, watch the contact point, and watch your base staying low. When facing a big server, you may not have enough time to prepare. First, create some space to have more time, and split step to move forward to block/hit the ball for better timing. Second, try closing the angles to keep the ball short and low to force the opponent to move forward and make contact below the net.
