One major piece of advice that I give to all my LJ's: if the ball is headed toward one of your lines, DON'T FOLLOW THE BALL! If you do the line will become 18 inches wide. Look ahead of the ball - see where the ball hits: the court, on the line, or outside the line. If the ball hits you, make sure that you are off the court, otherwise you just gave a team on the opposite side a point.
