Now that you know the rules, it's time to learn how to actually play the game. This chapter will introduce you to basic techniques like the serve, volley, and dink. We'll also touch on some beginner strategies to help you get the upper hand in games.

A dink might sound simple, but it's an essential skill for controlling the pace of the game. Focus on developing a gentle touch and keeping your eye on the ball closely to anticipate where it's going.
