🎾 BACKHAND POACH? DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAKE IT! 🔥

Who says you can only poach with your forehand?!

Your backhand volley can be just as dangerous at the net!

The key is MOVEMENT and TIMING!

🎾 Move with the bounce of the ball!

🎾 Recognize the opportunity and explode across the middle!

🎾 Keep your racket out in front, punch that backhand volley, and TAKE CONTROL!

Don’t let your backhand side stop you from being aggressive!

TEAM FORMAN SAYS:
Poach!

PROPER COURT POSITION EQUALS WINNERS! 🎾🔥

In this clip, all FOUR players execute their positions exactly as they should—and the point goes to the team that moves with purpose!

4 PLAYERS. 4 JOBS. ONE WINNER!

1️⃣ The Receiver: Hits a solid return and immediately approaches the net.

2️⃣ The Receiver’s Partner: Closes tight to the net, ready to take control and finish the point.

3️⃣ The Server: Threads the needle with a low ball right up the middle, setting up her partner for the next shot, and approaches!

4️⃣ The Server’s Partner: Initially shifts back after the return to defend, then recognizes her partner’s shot and moves FORWARD to attack and hit the winner!

💥 THE BOTTOM LINE:

Doubles isn’t just about the player hitting the ball. It’s about the THREE players reacting to it!

Know your job. Own your position. Move with every shot.

Proper court position creates opportunities—and opportunities create WINNERS!

🎾 DOUBLES TENNIS: ARE YOU GIVING AWAY CONTROL OF THE NET?

In doubles, it’s not always about the shots you miss. Sometimes it’s about the opportunities you DON’T take!

1️⃣ Letting the lob bounce!
You give your opponents time to recover and potentially take control of the point. Get back, take it out of the air, and maintain your offensive position!

2️⃣ Not coming into the net on the return!
You hit a great return but stay back, allowing the serving team to take control on the third shot.

🔥 THE BOTTOM LINE:
IF YOU DON’T TAKE CONTROL OF THE POINT, YOUR OPPONENTS WILL!

Stop giving away the net. Stop giving away opportunities. Start taking charge!

Don’t let it happen. MAKE IT HAPPEN! 💪🎾

DON’T GET MIND FU%$ED! 🤯🎾

Just because your opponents line up in an unconventional format, like Australian or I-Formation, doesn’t mean you need to abandon your mission!

HAVE COURT AWARENESS! 👀

Don’t let an unfamiliar formation distract you, dictate your movement, or pull you out of proper court position.

Recognize the formation, identify the open court, and execute your game plan!

Different formation. SAME MISSION! 💪

Don’t let your opponents control your mind before the ball is even struck!

Play with purpose. Play with awareness. For the rest of your life! 🫵

REVERSE CUT A BITCH (CAB) 🤦‍♀️🎾

When the receiving side tries to pull a fast one on YOU! 🫵

They poach off the return, a.k.a. CAB!

NO NEED TO PANIC!

Keep moving with the bounce of the ball, recognize the poach, and look for your opportunity to REVERSE CAB! 🔥

Remember, just because they make the first move doesn’t mean they get the last shot!

Movement never stops!

Don’t let it happen. MAKE IT HAPPEN! 💪

🎾 PRE-PLANNED TACTICS ON THE RECEIVING SIDE!

Why react when you can PRE-PLAN?

Both players start BACK with a plan to hit a lob return and take control of the net!

1️⃣ Both start back to protect against an aggressive net player and prepare for the return.

2️⃣ Pre-plan the lob return! The goal is to get the ball over the net player’s head and force the serving team into a defensive position.

3️⃣ BOTH CHARGE THE NET! Once the lob clears the net player, move forward together, close the net, and take control!

🔥 BUT HERE’S THE KEY!

TeamForman says ALWAYS ASSUME THE WORST FROM YOUR PARTNER!

Don’t automatically charge before you know the lob is successful!

Be prepared to defend a short lob, but the moment that ball clears the net player, GO!

2 IN, 2 WIN!

The beauty of pre-planned tactics is that BOTH players know their responsibilities BEFORE the point even starts!

🚨 DPO — DON’T PU$$OUT! 🚨

I’m adding a NEW rule to my TeamForman “Always & Nevers!”

If you get a ball inside the service line and DON’T hit an aggressive shot, your chances of winning that point significantly decrease!

Inside the service line is the KILL ZONE! 🔥

In this clip, Kimberly PUSSED OUT! 🤦‍♀️

She has a HUGE forehand and had the perfect opportunity to CRACK that ball right up the middle for a winner!

Instead, she played it safe and let the opportunity slip away.

TeamForman’s NEW NEVER:

🚫 NEVER PUSS OUT FROM INSIDE THE SERVICE LINE!

When you have the opportunity to take control, TAKE IT!

Don’t let it happen. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! 🎾🔥

🏆 NATIONALS — THE PINNACLE OF LEAGUE TENNIS! 🥉

It all started with an idea…

2 counties. 2 captains. 10 women.
ONE MISSION. ONE GOAL. A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

Miami crossed county lines into Broward in pursuit of something bigger than ourselves.

An idea became a team.
A team became Local League Champions.
Local League Champions became Florida Sectional Champions.
And Florida Sectional Champions earned their place among the BEST in the COUNTRY!

Meet the MiamiBros! 💪🎾
Miami + Broward = ONE TEAM!

This past weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of coaching, co-captaining, and competing alongside these 10 extraordinary women at the USTA 3.0 18+ National Championships!

And let me tell you some

There was NOTHING recreational about this tournament!

The competition was FIERCE!
The level of play was WELL ABOVE 3.0!
The intensity, athleticism, grit, and determination were off the charts!

These were women who came to WIN!

And quite frankly, that’s exactly how it should be when you’re competing for a National Championship!

Although the MiamiBros didn’t walk away with the first-place trophy, they walked away with something pretty extraordinary…

🥉 3RD PLACE IN THE COUNTRY!

Think about that for a moment.

What started as an idea between two counties became one of the TOP THREE teams in the entire nation!

To my MiamiBros…
I couldn’t be prouder of the way you represented the state of Florida.

You competed with heart.
You fought for every ball.
You played every point as though it were MATCH POINT.
And you left absolutely NOTHING on the court!

You embraced the pressure, the competition, and the opportunity to be part of something that many league players will never experience.

And you earned every bit of your place there!

A huge congratulations to Northern California on capturing the National Championship 🏆 and Puerto Rico on their second-place finish! Incredible competition from start to finish!

We started with an idea.
We finished with a BRONZE MEDAL.
And we created memories that will last forever.

MiamiBros, BE LOUD. BE PROUD.
FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES! ❤️

🎾 HOW TO WIN IN SINGLES AT ALL LEVELS!

Singles isn’t about hitting harder or running faster. It’s about patience, court position, shot selection, and playing with purpose!

1️⃣ PATIENCE

Not every ball is an opportunity to attack!

Keep the ball deep, stay disciplined, and wait for the right moment to take control.

2️⃣ CREATE OPPORTUNITIES

Don’t wait for opportunities. CREATE THEM!

Move your opponent, change direction, use angles, and open up the court.

Every shot should have a purpose!

3️⃣ CAPITALIZE ON OPPORTUNITIES

Recognize the short ball!

Move forward, take time away, and attack the open court.

Don’t work so hard to create an opportunity and then fail to take advantage of it!

4️⃣ RESET THE POINT

When you’re in trouble, don’t force a winner!

Hit high and deep, recover your court position, and give yourself another chance to take control.

TEAMFORMAN SAYS:

The best singles players don’t try to win every shot.

They understand how to construct a point, create opportunities, and capitalize on them!

🎾 HIT THE LOB? FOLLOW IT TO THE NET! 🚀

A lob only creates an advantage if you move forward behind it.

When it clears the net person, you and your partner MUST approach the net!

🔥 Turn defense into offense
🔥 Take away time and space
🔥 Force your opponents back
🔥 Get in position to finish

Too many players hit a great lob and STAY BACK! 🤦‍♀️

You created the opportunity—NOW TAKE IT!

🎾 TeamForman Says:

If your lob passes the net person, follow it to the net. Every time!

For the rest of your life! 💪🎾
