All players start out somewhere on the court, many choosing to use the service to initiate their warm-up.   Is there really any value to doing this?  After all, as players will use the full court during our practice/matches.  The answer is YES!!

After doing a short warm-up routine of jogging/stretching, here are the next steps.  The purpose of short court warm-up is for 3-fold: 

1) to get a player's eyes focussed on seeing the ball clearly- try to see the label on the ball or its seams

2) to get the player's feet moving efficiently- small, light steps

3) find the correct contact point on your strokes

By focussing on the first 2 steps, the 3rd(and tremendously important for consistency) becomes simple.  This 2-minute warm-up will help you get focussed on the ball and energized for your match
