The Ideal Rally Length in Practice

The Lewitology

“The practice court should be shaped by and based on the player’s individual needs and personality—not Average Rally Length data.

Some players need to rally more. They need it psychologically. They need rhythm and timing. They need confidence from repetition.

Others can practice with shorter reps and patterns and feel great.

Game style shapes the practice court. Attackers need more first strike training. Defenders need more grinding.

Every player is different.

Coaches need to teach in a player centered way—not based on flawed meta data analysis.”
