Are you looking for an exciting game that your whole family can take part in – regardless of their age or fitness level?

Keen to play a ball sport that doesn’t require you to fork out hundreds on expensive equipment?

One that doesn’t take hours of lessons or put as much strain on your body as tennis and many other racquet sports do?

Then you may have already stumbled upon your ideal sport: pickleball.

Pickleball is a fast-paced sport that hones the quickness of your hand and your reflexes, but it has the added bonus of being strategic – which makes it a little bit like playing chess on a court!

Anyone can play it – even those who’ve never played tennis or picked up a paddle or racquet in their lives.

Because the court is much smaller than tennis courts, it’s ultra-sociable – you remain close to your opponents throughout the game.

And if you’ve always found sports like tennis to be too challenging… or to require too much running around… know that this limit doesn’t apply in pickleball.

Nothing’s stopping you but yourself – it’s time to get out there and play!

To get started, this book has all the information you need to play competitive, action-packed games with your family from Day One.

A Paddle of Connection!

In James Stuart's "Pickleball Basics," I stumbled upon a delightful guide that not only demystifies the game but also weaves in the essence of family bonding. Chapter 6, "Overcoming Obstacles: Tackling Tricky Serves and More," became a compass for navigating the challenges on the pickleball court. As a beginner, I resonated with the strategies shared, and the anecdotes sprinkled throughout the chapter brought a sense of camaraderie, turning the obstacles into stepping stones for improvement. Luke Oldham's narration adds an extra layer of enthusiasm to the book.
