Play The Ball

Quick Tips Stacie Townsend 04-04-2022

When you find yourself in these situations, or otherwise anxious or nervous about playing your particular opponents, it is important to remind yourself to focus on the pickleball and “play the ball.” In other words, make the best shot based on the circumstances, and don’t play your opponents. Play the ball and not your opponents.
