"10 Reasons to Poach"

Poaching - The art of intercepting a ball that is not necessarily on your half of the court and placing it for a winner.
  1. It's fun.
  2. It takes pressure off your partner.
  3. It places pressure on the other team.
  4. It forces your opponents into hitting low percentage shots.
  5. It's much more aerobic than just standing there.
  6. It causes your opponent to hesitate from hitting their standard cross court returns.
  7. The few shots you let go down your alley cannot compare to the 80% of the shots which go cross court.
  8. You can poach off many shots, not just off of server returns.
  9. You become a legal visual distraction to your opponents.
  10. You can fake a poach and be just as effective.
