Use clear, concise calls ('mine,' 'yours,' 'switch') to identify who handles each ball during points.
Develop hand signals for serve options, return strategy, and poach intent without alerting opponents.
Maintain regular eye contact with your partner to confirm understanding and coordinate positioning.
Use time between points to adjust strategy, discuss opponent tactics, and reinforce communication.
Communicate encouragement and support throughout the match to maintain partnership morale.
