Learn to Net through Videos

Netting is easier to learn with someone sitting near you, able to guide you through the learning process. However, because I can’t physically sit next to you, I created videos to show you how to net. It’s the next best thing to having a teacher by your side.

Since I have recently moved the videos from this website to YouTube, the links to the videos are listed below.
