No Comments » Pickleball News from the White Mountains in Arizona Sep 1st 2008white mountians Since we assisted in starting pickleball in the White Mountains four years ago, it has grown tremendously. There are two groups of players - one in Show Low and one at Pinetop Lakes Country Club. Approximately 50 players play several days a week, on three courts, in the old Show Low junior high gym. There are 4 pickleball courts at Pinetop Lakes Country Club where approximately 60 players participate. Instrumental in the success at Pinetop Lake Country Club are Barb Adams and George Uber. At the Show Low site, much of the credit goes to Donna and Don Weisheit. They have devoted many hours and much effort into making pickleball a success. No Comments » Tournament Formats for Pickleball Jul 16th 2008Uncategorized There are several types of tournaments that can be used for pickleball competition. The simplest and least time consuming is a single elimination tournament. Teams are placed in a 4-team; 8-team; 16-team; or 32-team draw. If there is an odd-number of teams entered, byes are placed at the top and bottom of the draw. The #1 seeded team (the best team) is placed at the top of the draw and the #2 seeded team (the second best team) is placed at the bottom of the draw. As long as a team continues to win, they move out to the right. If a team loses, that team is eliminated. Theoretically, the two best teams, then, play each other in the final match. The advantage of this type of tournament is that it is the quickest to run on a minimum number of courts. The disadvantage is that a team is assured of playing only one match. The other types of tournaments are: single elimination with consolation; double elimination; round robin and drop down. These formats will be explained at a later date.

Jun 21st 2008serving pickleball & teaching pickleball Prior to the beginning of a match, one pickleball team is given the opportunity to choose to serve first in the first game OR to choose which side of the court they wish to occupy to start the game. Which do you choose? Is there one choice better than the other? Several factors should be considered before making that choice. Does your team have a server who is dominant - who has a serve difficult to return? Is the sun and/or wind a factor? Does one side of the court have more clearance behind the endline than the other? Is the background behind the court more distracting on one side of the court than the other? All of these factors, as well as perhaps others, should be considered. Most important is that you want your team to gain the immediate advantage over your opponents. Winning the first game of a match is always a morale booster! No Comments » Some Pickleball Strategies to Think About Jun 6th 2008Uncategorized & pickleball strategies Skill in stroking the ball is not the only requirement for being successful in the game of pickleball. The thinking player has a definite advantage! Some things to think about:1. Utilize your strengths against your opponent’s weaknesses. For instance: play to the weaker player in doubles; play to the backhand rather than the forehand; if an opponent is slow or has difficullty in moving, place your shots such that he HAS to move; etc.2. Anticipate! Where you hit the ball governs the options that your opponent has for the return of the ball. After your shot, look at the player hitting the ball rather than watching and/or admiring your shot! What is that player’s body position? Where is he on the court? What are his shot possibilities?3. Keep your opponent moving! Effective combinations of shots will keep your opponent off balance. When you’re successful in moving your opponent out of position, don’t get so excited about the huge open court area for your return that you goof up!4. Change the pace! Vary the speed and placement of your shots - deep, short, right, left, lob, drop shot.5. Remember - more points are “lost” on errors than “won” on placement. Let your opponents make the errors. Focus on consistency and accuracy of each shot.6. Don’t change a winning game! If things are working well for you and you’re satisfied with your game, don’t change it! If, on the other hand, you’re not playing well and losing, ask yourself what needs to be changed and try to do that in the next game.                                          Tags: pickleball strategy No Comments » The Importance of the Paddle Position in Pickleball May 25th 2008Uncategorized & closed paddle face & open paddle face & square paddle face   What am I talking about?! Regardless of the stroke being used in pickleball, the position of the paddle in relationship to the ground and the net is crucial in determining where the ball is going to go. Assuming that you are hitting a straight shot and not putting spin on the ball, the ball will always come off of the face of the paddle at a right angle to the paddle face. When the head of the paddle is perpendicular to the ground, it is said to be a “square face” and the ball will come off of the paddle parallel to the ground. If the head of the paddle is angled down, the paddle is “closed” and the ball will travel downward from the paddle face to the ground. If the head of the paddle is angled up, the paddle is “open” and the ball will travel in an upward direction. Knowing this is important to the player who is attempting to correct his own errors. For example: if he is consistently hitting a ground stroke into the net, he needs to pay attention to the position of his paddle at the moment of contact with the ball. It’s highly likely that his paddle is in a “closed” position rather than “square”.
