Pickleball is a great way to get exercise, socialize, and have fun.
It’s a relatively easy game to learn and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels.
If you’re new to pickleball, or if you’re looking for ways to have more fun when you play, here are a few tips:
- Focus on the process, not the outcome. It’s easy to get caught up in winning and losing, but the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the game. If you focus on improving your skills and making good shots, you’ll be more likely to enjoy the game and have fun.
- Play with friends. Playing with friends is a great way to have fun and socialize. You can also learn from each other and improve your skills together.
- Make it a social event. Invite some friends to play pickleball, or join a pickleball league or club. This is a great way to meet new people and make friends.
- Take breaks. If you’re feeling tired or frustrated, take a break. Step away from the court for a few minutes to catch your breath and clear your head. When you come back, you’ll be refreshed and ready to play your best.
- Have fun! Pickleball is a great way to get exercise, socialize, and have fun. If you’re not enjoying yourself, you’re less likely to stick with it. So make sure to relax and have fun while you’re playing.
Here are some additional tips to help you have fun when playing pickleball:
- Dress comfortably. You’ll be moving around a lot when you play pickleball, so it’s important to dress comfortably. Wear loose-fitting clothing that you can move easily in.
- Wear sunscreen. Pickleball is a great way to get some exercise, but it’s also important to protect yourself from the sun. Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, and reapply it every two hours.
- Stay hydrated. You’ll be sweating a lot when you play pickleball, so it’s important to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your game.
- Have a positive attitude. Pickleball is a fun game, but it can also be challenging. It’s important to have a positive attitude and to keep trying your best.
Following these tips can help you have fun and enjoy the game of pickleball.
Remember, the most important thing is to relax and have fun.

Where can I find a copy of “Pickleball, The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Fun, Friends and Strategies”? There is one copy here at the RECS center in Clackamas, Oregon but it’s not for sale.
The book is available on Amazon. Here is a link to get your copy:
