Just a reminder please that open sessions, open coaching and dupr open sessions are designed for ALL abilities to play, so when you are playing doubles it is a TEAM - and you always get the best performance from your partner by encouraging them & having a positive attitude:

Here's some ideas:

paddle tap between rallies no matter what happened

Lots of energy to reset from the last rally - jump up and down

Talk between rallies, a couple of words is good 'let's get this next one'

'dont worry, lets go'

'lets focus on the plan'

'we can do this'

praise your partner when they do well 💪

If you have a strategy v your opponents do learn to share this in a positive way with your partner, as it helps build that team bond.

The more we play, the more MENTAL the game becomes and we need to move to cover the spaces on the court as a TEAM : TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE. There is no 'I' in team. You cant win a doubles match by yourself!
