Boost Your Court Awareness Now!
One of the key skills in pickleball is being aware of where your opponents and the ball are at all times. Here are three steps to help you enhance your court awareness:
- Head Up, Eyes Open: Always keep your head up and your eyes scanning the court. Take quick glances at your opponents, noting their positions and movements.
- Anticipate Movements: Try to predict where the ball will go next. Anticipation allows you to move quicker and be prepared for your next shot.
- Communicate with Your Partner: If you’re playing doubles, constant communication is crucial. Make calls on who should take the shot and provide feedback on opponent positioning.
Implement these strategies in your next game and watch your court awareness—and overall game—improve remarkably.
Happy Pickling!
