Become More ProActive In Doubles
22 June 2015
How does one become a proactive doubles player?
The answer is simple. MOVE !
I can offer you this suggestion. Go out and move in your next ten doubles matches! Don’t hesitate. Move often and with purpose. That is, move in when the ball is headed past your opponent’s net man and look for times to move across the net to poach on your opponent’s crosscourt shot.
When To Poach In Doubles

Even if you aren’t very confident in your volleys, you still want to try and poach often enough so that your opponent has to worry about you.
Your opponent should realize that if they leave a ball float down the middle of the court, you will poach and cut it off.
Even if you miss a few volleys, it will give your opponent something else to think about.
