Don’t Cramp Your Style – Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate.

Quick Tips Pickle4 Team 04-03-2025

Cramping is a common issue that can occur when playing pickleball, especially during long matches or when playing in hot and humid conditions. Cramping can kill your pickleball game and cause a lot of pain to your body. To prevent cramping make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your pickleball game to prevent dehydration, which can lead to cramping. In particular, it is important to drink fluids that can help maintain electrolyte balance in the body. Light stretching before and after your pickleball game (particularly, dynamic stretches beforehand) can also help prevent cramping. Remember, if you do experience cramping during your pickleball game, stop playing immediately and rest until the cramping subsides.
