CUTTING ANGLES: The Stretch Volley

When you’re at the net, it’s important to reduce your opponent’s angles so that they can't pass you easily. The best way to do so is by cutting the court off, which will improve your odds of reaching the ball. To do so, cross the court at an angle instead of parallel to the net to create less distance between you and the ball.
