Chiquita under pressure
Success target: 6 of 10 chiquitas force a below-net-height volley.
How to run it
- 01Partner stands at the net; you're at the back with a basket.
- 02Feed yourself and play chiquitas — slow, low balls that land at the net player's feet.
- 03Partner volleys anything too high back hard; a good chiquita earns a soft reply.
- 0410 chiquitas, then swap.
Why it works
The chiquita is controlled aggression — it attacks the net pair with softness, and softness under pressure is trained, not born.
