✅ 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 activation exercises designed for pickleball which you can get from Jay McLean, just 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.

✅ DO NOT PEDAL BACKWARDS TO RETRIEVE BALLS: Avoid running backwards to retrieve balls as this can cause injuries. Instead, turn around and run forward to retrieve the ball.

✅ LET SOME CHALLENGING SHOTS GO: It's okay to give up a point to avoid injury.

✅ FEEDBACK: Ensure your partner is OPEN TO RECEIVING FEEDBACK during a game BEFORE providing any (e.g. would they prefer you waited until a time-out or the end of the game or are they open to receiving suggestions after every single rally?); remember the onus may be on YOU to keep quiet.

✅ 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!

✅ FORMULATING STRATEGIES (i.e. stacking) with your partner is encouraged but do ensure your partner understands and is comfortable with what is proposed; MOST IMPORTANTLY, allow them to provide feedback on your suggestions, it should NEVER be a “one-way street” as we are ALL learning and hoping to improve. Consider using words like “Can we please consider trying XYZ…” as opposed to “Make sure you do ABC or don’t do XYZ…”

✅ FUNDAMENTALS: It is expected that ALL PLAYERS follow FUNDAMENTAL PICKLEBALL STRATEGIES such as running to the kitchen line after returning serve (RETURN & RUN), SERVE & STAY strategy, both TRANSITIONING to the kitchen line and most importantly using a COMBINATION of soft and hard shots throughout the game and know when to use it (i.e. not just play as “bangers”).

✅ FUN ENVIRONMENT: WE ALL have off days sometimes when things seem to go wrong no matter what we do; it is up to each and 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, Don’t be afraid to HAVE AWESOME FUN & HAVE A LAUGH! 🤩🤩
