What a lesson looks like

A scene from lesson 1, playable right here. The rest of the lesson reads the same way: you watch, a sentence explains, you move on.

Lesson 1, “The rope”

1. The rope

You are not defending two halves of a court, you are defending one court, together.

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Picture a three-metre rope between you and your partner.

    Why · It never stretches. The whole lesson follows from that one constraint.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    When one of you moves, the other moves at the same moment, in the same direction.

    Why · The pair slides sideways as one block, without ever pulling apart.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    One player at the net, the other left at the back: the rope snaps and the middle lane opens.

    Why · This is the most common positioning mistake, and the most expensive.
