Strength for
your time on court.
Strength, balance and fitness work for pickleball players, whether you play socially or compete. Tell us what your usual week on court looks like.
Reaching for a ball, stopping at the kitchen line and getting ready for the next shot all ask something different of your body.
Work on staying balanced when you reach, stop or change position. Sessions include lower-body strength and single-leg control.
Practise short starts, side steps and controlled stops, so footwork has a place in your training as well as your paddle skills.
Plan conditioning around how often you play, with time for warming up, mobility and recovery between active days.
A weekly social game and a tournament calendar need different planning. We start with how often you play, your gym experience and the time you can give to training.
