Free Friday Pickleball Practice Card
From Coach Tom — Tom’s Pickleball Hub. Use this free card for a 15-minute practice with a partner.
1. Warm up (3 minutes)
Walk gently, move your shoulders, and practice controlled steps. Check that the court is clear and your shoes provide secure footing.
2. Soft dinking (5 minutes)
Both partners stand at the non-volley-zone line and aim for ten controlled dinks in a row. Reset and try again after an error.
3. Ready paddle (4 minutes)
Feed a series of gentle volleys. After every return, bring your paddle back in front and establish balance when possible.
4. Cool down and reflect (3 minutes)
What improved? What would you like to practice next time?
