– Almost never swing and miss
– Uses forehand and backhand appropriately
– Maintains a rally of 5 shots (groundstrokes, volleys, dinks)

Positioning
– Consistently moves to the NVL when the chance is there after the third shot- does not back off the NVL too often
– Beginning to move with partner for correct court positioning (up/back and side/side)

Fast Game

Slow Game
– Beginning to initiate a dink rally and dinks as much as possible until pop ups
– Beginning to keep ball low and limit pop-ups
– Uses third shot drop on easy returns

Strategy
