When returning serve, these actions are extremely important.
1. Have a slightly angled stance towards the server or into the court. (Your outside foot will be closer to net)
2. Split step forward when landing. (your split should be at least 1 inch vertically)
3. Your first move as you come down from your split step is a unit body turn.
4. Start immediately adjusting your feet to get into position for proper contact distance.
5. Establish balance, by holding your weight and do not lean or try to go forward to hit the return.
5. It is satisfactory to wait for the ball the come to you so you can maintain your balance.
* on faster serves, you may only have time to turn or pivot after split stepping.
* on serves spinning fast away from you, you must take multiple steps after split stepping to get to the ball. afdd
