- Player is not in the ready position. Feet shoulder width apart, paddle up with both hands, eyes watching the game before you.
- Standing still. We have to be on the balls of our feet anticipating the next shot, staying in constant motion.
- Blocking the ball stance. Don't stand parallel to the net, but instead angle yourself rotating your body/shoulders, and feet to strike the ball.
- Hanging back at the baseline. Staying at the baseline keeps the player out of the action. get into the net ASAP.
- Watching the game while playing it. After you hit, don't stand and watch your handiwork - stay mentally in the point. You can relax a little when you've won the point.
