I am an opportunist so when the option of taking a second lesson back to back with my first lesson came up, I jumped on it. Now my ankles, feet and knees hurt.
Lesson #1--Volleying and Approach Shots--Lesson with K.
When volleying, move you feet, not your hand. Step into the your shot with the contralateral foot. Bend you knees to get down low. Keep a firm wrist. For the approach shot, it is not an offensive shot. It should be cross court and deep, unless the ball coming to you is high and short and then you can send it down the line. This allows you time to get up to the net and be offensive on the next shot.
Lesson #2--Doubles strategy--Lesson with K.
Given the scenario where there is one up and one back, if the ball gets by you and your partner has to take the ball, then you as the net player need to step back two steps. If the partner gets the shot past the net person, then you slide up closer to the net.
