Reset and Recover
When your team loses control of a rally, the ability to reset and recover keeps you in the point and shifts momentum back in your favor. This clinic breaks down the different types of resets used to neutralize pressure and regain control based on the shot you receive and your position on the court. Successful resets don’t just extend points—they set you up to win them.
