It’s shaping up to be another great week for pickleball and the weather looks like we’re good until mid-week outdoors. Although not specifically tied to the cooler weather, it’s a good time to remind everyone to stretch both before and after playing pickleball. Taking just 5 minutes to warm up and cool down can do wonders to alleviate all the aches and pains that most of us experience after playing.

Tip of the week
This weeks tip is about consistency. Kathleen and I watched this video and have used it as the foundation to drill and practice our dinks. It has been really helpful in making our dinks more consistent and allowing us to be more patient with the soft game.
