Connected Partner Transition

Coordinate third-shot selection, “go/stay” communication, and partner movement through the transition zone.

Make early calls, connected movement, and constructive between-point communication visible and scoreable in live doubles.

Practice concise partner analysis: observe, select one adjustment, return to play, and test it.

Adapt positioning, communication, and one tactical goal while playing short games with different partners.

Resolve middle balls with an early call and the player who has the stronger, safer contact—not a rigid forehand rule.
