Please see below some ideas for hosting a session. Please remember our core value of inclusivity for session design. Therefore:
All sessions remain social at the core. Even competitive sessions should be social in tone.
Remember that the most simple sessions e.g. jumble doubles or two up / two down can be the most enjoyable.
Avoid pre-ranking people.
Avoid taking down scores and sharing them unless everyone at the session is aware and happy for this to take place.
Session Ideas
Warm up Games
Fives - each team starts at 5 - 5, you then take away a point for a mistake and add a point for a winner.
Dinkles (diagonal 4 players, 2 balls)
Serve, return, 3rd shot drop - after which you must dink (min of 8). If it breaks down you reserve.
Pickleball Volleyball - min of 3 players each side, serve ball cross court then run to the direction you served to join the queue of players. The person you have served to returns the ball and runs to join the opposite queue of players. Each player must send the ball over the net before running.
On the Fly - if a player makes a mistake dinking they are substituted by a spare player on the sideline.
