Server vs Passer Sideline-Serve Challenge

Train passing through server vs passer sideline-serve challenge with a clear rep structure and game-like feedback.

How to run it

1
Servers aim for sidelines (deep + short, but not required). Passer plays +3/-3: 2 good passes in a row = +1, 2 bad in a row = -1, ace = -1. Finish at +3 or -3.
2
Coach emphasis: Build the platform early, hold the angle, and finish every touch to a playable target.
