Skill explanation

Serve receive decides how often you get to run your own offense. Tonight is about beating the ball to the spot, stopping your feet, and letting a quiet platform angle solve direction — no swinging arms.

Beat the ball to the spot, then stop your feet
Flat platform, shoulders square to target
Hold the finish — no arm swing at contact
Read the toss and contact to judge float vs topspin

Why: Train passing through toss-pass-catch platform reps with a clear rep structure and game-like feedback.
- P1 at the net, P2 in serve receive position. P1 tosses straight to P2. Each player does 2 rounds of 10 passes. Long holds on the platform — give a lot of feedback.

Queen & King of the Court
Every session ends the same way: continuous Queen & King of the Court. Challengers serve in, winners hold the King/Queen side, losers rotate off. Competitive reps that put the night's skill under real pressure.
- Challenger side serves; winner of the rally moves toward the King/Queen side
- Lose on the King/Queen side and you rotate off to the back of the challenger line
- Points only count when you win on the King/Queen side
- Play until time — highest score wins the night
