🏓 HOW TO BECOME A BETTER PICKLEBALL PLAYER 🏓

Want to take your pickleball game to the next level? Sometimes it’s not about hitting harder — it’s about making smarter decisions. 🎯

Here are 15 simple reminders to help improve your game:

👉 Missing serves? Slow down and reset.
👉 Popping the ball up? Soften your hands.
👉 Rushing the kitchen? Earn your way forward.
👉 Attacking every ball? Learn when to reset.
👉 Dinks going too high? Keep the paddle relaxed.
👉 Losing long rallies? Choose patience over power.
👉 Getting targeted? Stay calm and get consistent.
👉 Struggling at the net? Keep your paddle ready.
👉 Off balance? Move your feet first.
👉 Shots lacking control? Aim before adding speed.
👉 Getting lobbed? Communicate and recover.
👉 Making unforced errors? Respect the simple shot.
👉 Partner makes mistakes? Encourage, don’t criticise.
👉 Losing badly? Play one point at a time.
👉 Want to improve? Practise with purpose.

7 Wangaratta members made the trip to enjoy the new courts at Shepparton Pickleball Club. It was great to see 28 players on the courts for there first graded session. A great afternoon followed by a bbq around the fire.

It’s great for the area to have many thriving pickleball clubs and we look forward to our yearly intra club match against Shepparton again next year.

🏓 WANT TO IMPROVE AT PICKLEBALL?

It’s easy to think you need the latest paddle, the perfect shot or another tip from social media… but sometimes the biggest gains come from going back to the basics. 🎯

❌ Overthinking
❌ Fancy gear
❌ Comparing yourself to others
❌ Trying to win every point
❌ Chasing every new shot
❌ Thinking social media has all the answers

✅ MASTER THE BASICS.

Footwork. Positioning. Consistency. Shot selection. Communication. And most importantly — getting out on court and putting it into practice.

At Wangaratta Hardcourt Tennis & Pickleball Club, we’re all about helping each other improve while having a great time along the way.

Whether you’re brand new to pickleball or looking to take your game to the next level, there’s a place for you here. 💙💛
