DON’T GET YOURSELF INTO A PICKLE FROM A PICKLEBALL INJURY!

Sure, hitting the court with your buddies is fun and all but are you physically prepared for what's to come this spring season? Below are some expert insights so you can keep playing pickleball for life because after all, PICKLEBALL IS LIFE!

01

PICKLEBALL IS A SPORT- NOT AN EXERCISE

Pickleball certainly is a great way to stay active, but it’s not just a casual workout. It's a sport with its own set of demands. Just playing without different types of training can hurt your performance, lead to injuries, and limit how long you can enjoy the sport. So, if you want to keep playing pickleball without issues, it's crucial to do targeted exercises that match the specific demands of the game so you can keep having the best time on the court!

02

PRE AND POST MATCH ROUTINES HELP YOU STAY IN IT TO WIN IT

Starting your training early allows you to build endurance, strength, and agility gradually. A true warm up will loosen up those muscles and joints and heighten all of your senses to get you ready for your match. A good post match cool down and stretch will help ensure that you can be back on that court in no time without being sore!

03

GET YOUR FEET OUT OF THE MUD

Making sure you're using your whole body throughout your pickle-ball match can help prevent a ankle twist, knee injury or even a shoulder injury. Improving your footwork can get you to the ball quicker to hit more accurately and harder so both you and your joints can be happy!
