Instructions
- 1Server intentionally serves short, low, or off-speed balls just past the net.
- 2Passer drops the hips and gets the platform under the ball early rather than diving late.
- 3Keep the platform flat and let the legs, not the arms, generate the lift.
- 4Recover to a ready stance immediately after each contact.
What to focus on
Hips drop before the arms reach.
Common mistake
Bending at the waist and reaching with straight legs, popping the ball off the wrists.
