Do you ask yourself what skills should you develop for other people to want to play with you? Here’s a quick list to help you be an irresistible partner:

• Don’t be a “one-hit-wonder”: know how to do more than just drive the ball.
• Know when to reset: a reset is a defensive shot to slow down and disarm an attack – develop the drop and dink and know when to use them
• Develop a good block: many players love to just drive the ball, know how to block or counter attack a drive.
• Consistent serves and return of serves: be a “steady-Eddy”
• Recognize attackable balls and attack them
• Learn to be patient so you can setup attackable balls
• Don’t get set in your ways: be comfortable on both sides of the court
• Be a good sport! People love that Pickleball is “fun”, do your part to make being on the court with you fun and enjoyable.

Now it’s time to get there and play!
