After Your Return, Run to the Kitchen and Join Your Partner.

Kyle Koszuta’s cue is simple: hit the return, then run to the kitchen and join your partner. One player at the line leaves open court; two players at the line take it away.

Treat getting to the NVZ with your partner as part of the return, not an optional second step.

Action items:

• After every return drill, require a full sprint to the kitchen
• Partner call “join!” if you linger mid-court
• Film returns and check how often you arrive as a pair
