What is the Transition Zone?

The transition zone is the middle area of the court between the baseline and the non-volley zone (kitchen line). Players usually find themselves in this area after returning a serve or during a rally when they’re moving from the baseline toward the net.

Navigating the transition zone effectively requires quick footwork, patience, and an understanding of when to hit defensive or offensive shots.
