Clinic: Slow Down and Take Control 3.5+

About this event

SLOW DOWN & TAKE CONTROL

November 23 | 2-Hour Clinic | Skill Level 3.5+

Tired of getting caught in a firefight on every point? Stop whacking the ball just because you haven't figured out what to do with it! It's time to slow down, take control, and start playing with purpose.

Learn how much time you really have to make your next shot. Discover when to pause, when to reset, and when to attack. And when you do attack, understand not only where you're hitting the ball, but where it's likely to come back.

In this two-hour clinic, we'll focus on:

Timing & Control: Stop rushing your shots. Learn to pause, place the ball, and control the pace.

Purposeful Attacks: Understand when and why to attack crosscourt versus down the line, and anticipate the return.

Resets & Patience: Learn to neutralize pressure and turn defense into opportunity.

Smarter Defense: Cover the middle, create space, and improve your court positioning.

Shot Selection: Make better decisions instead of simply reacting to the ball.

The goal? Less panic, more patience, smarter attacks, and better control of every point.

Skill Requirement: Players must have a minimum 3.5 skill level.

Slow the game down. See your options. Take control.
