Dink in pickleball: basic training in the kitchen

Purpose of the lesson

The material is suitable for players who can beat the ball through the net, but do not control the height, direction and recovery of position

Player self-testing

• keep the grip soft enough to control the height
• hull
• lay down
• after impact, return the racket and balance
• Accelerate only a high ball, not any convenient moment

Организация задания

Начните с прямого обмена и большой цели перед соперником. Затем перейдите на диагональ, где дистанция больше. После каждого удара возвращайте ракетку в готовую позицию. Ускорение разрешайте только по мячу выше сетки и после серии спокойных повторов.

Before you do the first replay, state the goal and the way you test it: zone, ball height, body position, number of quality shots in a row, or choice of solution, and without criteria, the exercise becomes a mechanical exchange

Start with three checkskeep the grip soft enough to control the height; hull; lay down.

Preparedness criterion

One successful shot shows no progress. Look at the series, the quality after the move, and the ability to keep the action counted. The last test is in a draw with the same limitation

When to simplify the task

If the technique breaks down, reduce the pace, the distance, or the number of solutions, add the complication after a steady series, not for fatigue, and stop the load when the pain is over

Frequent errors

Trying to play each dink close to the net increases errors. Accidental acceleration without condition turns the exercise into a chaotic exchange. Don't stand still: after a wide ball, return to the pair's working position

Игровое усложнение

Проведите три серии: 20 прямых ударов, 20 диагональных и свободный розыгрыш, где первые пять мячей нельзя ускорять.

Practical conclusion

After class, leave one playable landmark and one self-task. At the next meeting, first check the skill retention, then move on to a new topic
