Pickleball Training- Six Things To Remember When Hitting The Ball

1. Positioning and Orientation: Positioning is most important. Poor positioning will almost always result in a poor or missed shot. Position yourself so that when you swing the paddle the ball has bounced once and is directly in front of you near the peak of its bounce. Always try and get into position early; you want to be in position before the ball arrives.
   Orientation: Your shoulder opposite the paddle hand (forehand shot) or paddle hand shoulder (backhand shot) should be pointed the direction you want the ball to go (toward the back of the opposite court). You should be facing 90 degrees to the net.
2. Time your swing: If your swing is too early or too late the ball will not go where your shoulder points. If your swing is too late the ball will go toward the forehand sideline on a forehand stroke, and if your swing is late it will go toward the opposite sideline.
3. Watch the ball: Watch the ball from the time it leaves the opposition player’s paddle until it reaches your paddle. A number of factors including ball spin affect the flight of the ball. Not all factors are predictable.
4. Bend your knees: Many players, but especially beginners, miss their shot because the ball bounces below their swing.
5. Make good contact with the ball: Good contact means hitting the ball near its center and near the center of the paddle, but slightly below the ball’s centerline. Angle the paddle slightly upward. If you make contact with the ball too high on the ball it will go into the net or the floor. If you make contact with the ball too low on the ball it will go too high over the net. Try and keep the ball in a range of about 3 to 16 inches above the net. Obviously, the lower the better in almost all cases.
6. Follow-through: The last thing, but one of the most important for good ball control, is to follow through with your swing. That means start your swing from behind you and continue the swing after making contact with the ball. Finish the swing at about shoulder height and rotate the paddle in a slightly forward direction. That motion causes the ball to rotate forward (top spin) and produces a nice low arc over the net, when done correctly. Without good follow-through you lose a large amount of control over the ball and it has a tendency to rise. You want your swing to be as level as possible. If you swing up at the ball it will go too high and is more difficult to control and easy to slam. A ball hit with a downward swing is not likely to make it over the net.

AQUATIC EXERCISE In addition to Lap Swimming, there are many ways to exercise in the water that can be done on your own in any of the indoor pools. Aquatic Exercise is beneficial by taking advantage of the softer landing that water provides on the joints and the extra resistance water adds while moving your arms and legs. Try Water Walking in the shallow areas of the Indoor Competition Pool and Indoor Recreation Pool, walking with and against the current in the Current Canal in the Indoor Recreation Pool, and off-the-bottom exercises in the 50 Meter Pool or deeper areas of the pools with a floatation belt or noodle. Water Exercise is not available at all times and needs to be done during Non-Open Plunge times. Other exceptions in the times apply due to other programs and activities. Youth must be actively exercising & must be supervised by an adult.
