Pickleball Fundamentals (Sports Fundamentals)

Getting more information and learning a new game.

I was hoping this book had actual rules. Mostly how to hit the ball, way to move, how to practice, etc

Very informative book

I was thrilled to find this book because we are adding this sport to our church FOCUS sports camp for the first time this summer and I will be the director for it. I was looking for a complete book that included tips, instructions and drills. This book has it all! It covers all the different shots and gives an explanation of when they should be used in a game. Everything that is addressed is also shown with pictures or diagrams to help the reader understand. It even has checklists as to what adjustments to make when you find yourself making the same error repeatedly. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about learning to play Pickleball well or anyone who is in a position to teach others how to play.

Lots of good info and images. Highly recommend as a start point for new players or a refresher for experienced ones.

Encyclopedic information, but somewhat laborious to read. Beginning pickleballers would probably prefer, and certainly enjoy, a book like "Pickleball at a Glance" by Dr. Frank Seitz. Both books are on Amazon.

This book is a great reference for those who are new to Pickleball. The fundamentals are well defined and there are a lot of insights for the reader.

A good book if you want to learn about ways to practice skills needed in playing, but not good if you're interested in the rules. Especially since this is put out by the USA Pickleball Association, you'd think an appendix with the rules of the game would be at least somewhat useful. I mean, in a book about pickleball "fundamentals", you'd think the rules would be more "fundamental" to the game than advice on stretching.

great book.DC
