HOW TO DEAL WITH BEING TARGETED OR ICED OUT


Tired of opponents repeatedly targeting you or your doubles partner?

This training session will teach you how to work together as a team, protect the targeted player and turn defensive situations into winning opportunities.

What you’ll learn:

  • Doubles Positioning & Court Coverage - where to position yourself and how to move together to protect your partner and cover the court effectively
  • Protecting the Targeted Player - strategies to discourage opponents from repeatedly attacking one player and encourage them to direct their shots to the stronger player instead
  • Recognising & Responding to Targeting - understand what to do when you or your partner is being picked on and how to adapt your position and tactics.
  • Helping the Weaker Partner - discover how stronger players can support their partner through better court coverage, shot selection, communication and teamwork. 

Handling Aggressive Players & Bangers

  • Learn how to stay composed against hard hitters, improve your defensive positioning and use controlled shots to neutralise power

Teamwork and Tactical Decision Making

  • Build confidence in shifting, communicating and smart decisions together under pressure.

The Outcome

  • By the end of the session, you’ll have strategies and on court experience to help protect you and your partner, manage targeted attacks, handle power players and become a more confident, effective player.

Play smarter. Move together. Protect your partner. Play as a team.
