The switch: lob over your partner

Success target: 8 of 10 switches with an early call and no collision course.

How to run it

01Your pair holds the net. A feeder lobs over your partner's head.
02You call it early — "switch!" — cross behind to cover the lob, while your partner crosses to your side.
03Play the ball off the bounce or glass, reset with a lob, and rebuild the net position together.
0410 lobs, alternating which of you gets lobbed.

Why it works

The lob over one player beats pairs who haven't rehearsed the answer — the switch is choreography, and choreography is trainable.
