Sideskipping is a series of quick side steps with one's shoulders parallel to the net. Such a movement is required to bring a player close enough to the ball so that an effective stroke can be made. 4, record 1, English, - shuffle%20step

The term "shuffle step" is almost always used in the plural, since more than one is generally required to move from one point to another. The term "side step", in the singular, is but a single segment in the process of sideskipping. This latter term more often than not denotes an action rather than the result thereof. Other related terms: shuffling, cross-over step, adjustment step, turning step. 4, record 1, English, - shuffle%20step

Les pas chassés permettent de faire face au filet tout en se déplaçant ainsi que d'éviter les contre-pieds. Il est en effet, plus facile de repartir vers l'endroit d'où l'on vient, lorsqu'on court vers l'avant. Les pas chassés sont le plus souvent utilisés pour parcourir de courtes distances. Si la balle est très loin, on peut revenir en pas courus en début de replacement, puis se remettre face au filet en pas chassés en fin de replacement. Pour les longs déplacements, en avant et en diagonale, on utilise le plus souvent des pas courus. 2, record 1, French, - pas%20chass%C3%A9
