I have been taught specifically how to move back for a flick serve. This same kind of pattern may be used for receiving a high serve in singles, but actually it CAN be done differently to simply moving backwards like you would for a rear corner.

I have been taught specifically how to move with relation to ones partner – this could come under doubles positioning, but actually details the directions that you will move, and when you will move e.g. if you were going to allow a rear court attacker to “rotate” and come forwards to the net, how specifically would you move i.e. where, and WHEN would you move i.e. do you move after, before or during your opponents hit. I have also been told how to position my feet based on where my partner is, which isn't movement, but i think is applicable.

I have been taught specifically how to move side to side quickly as a frontcourt player (when intercepting shots/driving etc), but never how to move quickly as a rearcourt player. This movement I was taught, seems to be specific to doubles, as it doesn't really have any application in singles.

I expect a lot of people have had some coaching on WHERE to move, but not necessarily HOW to move.

Thats my initial thoughts… not sure whether some of them are truly specific to doubles, and some may be considered POSITIONING, but actually, I see them as slightly different.
