Pickleball FUN Community (FUN) & Doncaster Secondary College - David Perry Hall (DSC) FRIDAY FUNDAY DRILLS & STRATEGY & SOCIALS offers 3 indoor pickleball courts, with all the equipment included during your Pickleball FUN night session.

• As part of your pickleball FUN development program, we will be providing you with a unique "FUN Pickleball SuperStar Training Guide handout" that looks to level up your game. This includes areas to: 1. Build Your Foundation, 2. Control Your Point, 3. Play With Strategy, and 4. Advanced Foundations. While focusing on 5 Skills to prioritise: 1. Serve/Return of Serve, 2. 3rd Shot Drive/Drop/Drip, 3. Transition Resets, 4. Dinking, & 5. Kitchen Strategies.
  
• Your first 30mins will be designed to help level up your game by applying elements of the program guide handout. Either a certified coach or player host will run a 30-minute drill session to help you improve. The drill session structure will be flexible so registered players can work on their "current game." Either a group vote among registered players for the session or a certified coach will determine the drills performed.
  
• After the 30mins drills and/or strategies, we will look to create an effective rotation across the booked court(s) to prevent long waits and keep the session fair and social for every player using our 4-on/4-off method for your social play during the remainder of your session.

** TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY! **

• DO PROPER WARM-UP ACTIVATION EXERCISES BEFORE YOUR SESSION: Warm-up activation exercises are very important to prepare your key muscles for the game and prevent injuries. NOTE: We have a list of pickleball-specific activation exercises, which you can get from Jay McLean; message him directly in OpenSports.
  
• PLAY WITHIN YOUR LIMITS: Do not push yourself beyond your limits. Know your capabilities and play accordingly.
  
• DRINK CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT YOUR SESSION: Staying hydrated is important to prevent cramps and other injuries.
  
• BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS: Look out for other players, spectators, and potential hazards on and near the court. Avoid running backwards to retrieve balls, as this can cause injuries. Instead, turn around and run forward to retrieve the ball.
  
• DO PROVIDE POSITIVE ENCOURAGEMENT to your partner and even your opponents, if one makes a mistake or does an awesome shot; pumping up each other’s spirits can do wonders for your game!
  
• FUN ENVIRONMENT: WE ALL have off days sometimes when things seem to go wrong no matter what we do; it is up to every single player to control their frustration/disappointment/anger and ensure this doesn’t ruin the game for others, whether it’s their partner making the mistakes or themselves. We all must look out for each other and create a safe and fun environment for everyone. 🥰
  
• LASTLY and MOST IMPORTANTLY, Don’t be afraid to HAVE AWESOME FUN & HAVE A LAUGH! 🤩🤩
