Tips & Tricks

Your Guide to Safe & Effective Footwork

Footwork is the secret to playing pickleball with confidence, control, and zero pain. 👟 From quick, short steps to smooth lateral movement, mastering footwork helps you stay balanced, hit those killer shots, and prevent injuries. Here’s what we’re covering:

• Ready Position: Get low, stay light, and be ready to react in a flash.

• Quick Lateral Shuffles: Sidestep like a champ to stay balance and in control.

• Crossover Step: Move backward smoothly without tripping up.

• Small, Quick Steps: Stay agile and in position without over extending.

We’ve got more in our full guide that will help you focus on your footwork - improving your shots, balance and overall agility. 🏃‍♀️
