Boost Your Court Movement Efficiency

\n

Do you ever feel like you're always one step behind in pickleball? Efficient movement on the court can make all the difference. Here’s a simple drill to improve your court coverage:

The 'V-Drill' Technique

\n

\n
1. Start at the centerline, 5 feet behind the kitchen.
\n
2. Shuffle to the right sideline, touch it, and return to the center.
\n
3. Repeat on the left side.
\n
4. Incorporate speed variations—slow shuffle to fast sprint back.
\n

\n

Focus on keeping your paddle up and your feet light. Practicing this for just 15 minutes daily will dramatically reduce your response times and improve your court awareness.
