The Smashing Expats training & games

Hi everyone 🏐
We are excited to invite you to the next Smashing Expats training session. This training focuses on a new individual technique combined with team communication and on-court adaptation. The technical emphasis of this session will be on attacking shots and shot selection, specifically roll shots and controlled placement attacks, and how to communicate and adapt as a team during rallies.
In game situations, not every ball is meant to be hit hard. We will work on recognizing defensive positioning, choosing the right attacking option, and communicating quickly with teammates to adjust positioning and coverage during play. This session is designed to improve decision-making, clarity, and collective awareness on the court.
