Work on a series of simple check points in every activity – reading the ball early and before the ball crosses the net
Look for consistently good positioning and balance, where possible with the outside leg behind the ball
Look for the triangle as means to judging optimal contact points
Look for players who can play with 2 feet on the court, as an indicator of great receiving skills
