Rainy Weekend Pickleball Special at Ellington Racquet Club

Looking for something to do this weekend? With rain in the forecast, it’s the perfect time to get on the court and sharpen your game.

Join us at Ellington Racquet Club April 18 & 19 and take advantage of $5 off court time for pickleball, available to both members and non-members.

While you’re here, focus on the 10 doubles basics every player should master. These fundamentals are inspired by training from Pickleball Hub on YouTube, featuring Coach Michael Loyd:

• Get to the kitchen together
• Stop giving away the middle
• Communicate before the point
• Crosscourt is your best friend
• Don’t speed up everything
• Target feet, not faces
• Resets are not a bailout
• Stack to maximize strengths
• Move with your partner
• Win the boring points

He breaks down the exact strategies many players overlook and shows how to apply them effectively in real match play.

We’ve embedded the full video below so you can watch, learn, and immediately apply these concepts during your time on the court this weekend.
