5 Tips To Focus On For “Return Of Serve”

There are many aspects to focus on when returning a serve. Here's a break down of each aspect into the 5 "Fs" of returning serve.

  1. Forward – Always start the return with a split step and moving your body forward

  2. Focus – Focusing on the opponents toss and body language to read the placement of their serve

  3. First Step – On the return you always want to step with your outside foot first toward the ball

  4. Four – four means to hold your return swing as if you were hitting four consecutive balls lined in a row to get you to hit through the return

  5. Follow – short for follow threw to finish your swing

Returning a serve is the most important aspect of the game. Returning serve successfully and commandingly will improve outcomes and lead to better results.
