️️️️️ "This is so fantastic! So much good advice. This guide answers all the worrying questions I had before I risked showing up to the community courts for the first time. I feel less intimidated having read this, and I'll keep referring back to the tips and drills databases! Thanks!" Chris B
I created this guide (in Notion*) for people just like you who want to get into pickleball and aren't sure where to start. Or maybe you've played a time or two with friends but still don't know how to really get into this game. It can be like visiting a new country—pickleball in each city has its own etiquette and customs and knowing how to get into it broadly will make playing it so much more possible and fun.
It's not a Pickleball 101 guide or How Exactly to Play Pickleball guide. It's a critical guide to help you confidently get into and stay in the game, and how to find introductory lessons and people to play with—in your community and in new places. This guide reflects everything I've learned by getting into this awesome sport on my own across multiple states, playing with dozens of different people on multiple courts, connecting with people in the industry, and doing loads of research about the industry and sport.
I can't wait to share all those learnings with you, and for you to get off the sidelines and on the pickleball court!
