- 5. Think about this… Afterwatching the video about pickleball, what two or three sports are similar or even embedded in pickleball? Consider the following: - Court size and build - Equipment used - Physical requirement factors
- 6. Warm up Pickleball Wall(partner activity) - Students will pair up with someone who has a similar hair color - One will stand 3 feet away from a wall while the other stands close by - The first student will hit the ball against the wall minimum 2 times, maximum 4 - They must warn their partner of their last hit and the partner will try to hit the ball off the rebound - Students will continue for as long as possible - If the 2nd partner misses, they must start the new round

- 8. Forehand Groundstroke CRITICAL ELEMENTS 1.Turn shoulders and hips 2. Swing arm back 3. Step with front foot in direction where ball will go 4. Paddle open 5. Hit in front of body 6. Firm wrist 7. Follow through TEACHING CUES 1. Step 2. Backswing 3. Follow through
- 9. Backhand Groundstroke TEACHING CUES CRITICALELEMENTS 1. Turn shoulders and hips 2. Move paddle across body 3. Step with front foot 4. Paddle open 5. Hit in front of body 6. Firm wrist 7. Follow through 1. Step 2. Cross 3. Follow through
- 10. Practice Progressions 1. Gothrough motions of each groundstroke with a paddle, but no ball ◦ The first step is to allow students to practice techniques for both types of groundstrokes without the pressure of hitting a ball 2. Groundstrokes with ball ◦ The second progression is to use those practiced techniques and try hitting the ball against a wall in a specific square/area. This will improve one’s control of the ball and advance object manipulation skills 3. Groundstrokes with a partner ◦ Lastly, students will partner up (same-colored shoes) and try to use practiced techniques while adding the element of another person. They may hit it as many times as possible with or without a bounce.
- 11. Consider this… Looking at theprogressions listed on the last slide, name at least one advantage that each progression allows you to work on before playing a traditional game of pickleball.

- 13. 2 v 2 -Partnerswill run to the nearest court and face a different set of partners (4 people per court) -They will attempt to keep the ball in play as long as possible -No score will be kept as the point is to keep passing Alternative: - If you are looking for more of a challenge, play until the first team scores 5 points
- 14. Review 1. What arethe steps to a forehand stroke? How about backhand? 2. If your ball keeps hitting the net, how can you change your paddle to get it higher? How can you move your body to hit the ball further? 3. Will every hit be perfect? Will your partner always be on the same level as you?
- 15. Ask Yourself - CanI effectively teach a friend or family member the groundstrokes? - Now that we have learned how to hit groundstrokes, what other pickleball skills could we be learning in the next few lessons?
