Mirror Your Partner's Lateral Movement
The Situation
You and your partner are both at the net and a ball goes to your partner's side.
What To Do
When your partner moves right, you move right. Always. Maintain equal court coverage — never let both players drift to the same half.
Why It Works
Net pairs that move independently leave a permanent gap down the middle or line. Mirroring ensures the court is always split evenly. This is the foundation of all professional net pair movement — both the Lebrón-Galán and Belasteguín pairs used mirrored lateral movement as an automatic habit.
Court Positioning
Ball goes to partner's right → both players slide right together maintaining equal spacing. Center gap stays covered. Line stays covered.

Skill Level
Volley Down at Feet — Not at the Body
You are at the net and receive a medium-height ball you can control.
Stand 1 Metre from the Net — Not 2
You are at the net but keep backing up when opponents wind up for a shot.
Forehand Takes the Middle Ball — Always
A ball comes down the center of the court and both you and your partner could take it.
