LAST Nevobo '25/'26 Training Session

Hi everyone 🏐
This Smashing Expats training evening marks a special transition moment.
On Tuesday, 28 April 2026, we host our last evening with active NeVoBo team matches before moving into a more flexible format for the coming months.
The training focus of this session will be on a specific end-of-season skill, combined with team communication and collective responsibility.
Technically, we will work on end-game decision-making and smart play under pressure, with particular attention to choosing the right option in tight situations rather than forcing the point.
This includes:

• recognizing when to play safe vs. aggressive,
• adjusting positioning based on score and rally flow, and
• communicating clearly to manage risk together as a team.
