🥒Pickleball Lessons

Pickleball is quick to pick up and surprisingly deep once you start playing regularly. Most new players can rally on day one; the hard part is learning the soft game at the kitchen line, where points are usually won and lost.

Start with the rules, scoring and the kitchen, since those trip up nearly everyone in their first few games. Then learn a legal, reliable serve and return, and work your way up to the dink and the third shot drop, the two shots that separate beginners from intermediate players.

Coming from tennis? Your hands and footwork will help, but shorter swings and more patience matter more here. The crossover lessons below cover the habits worth unlearning.
