The videos on this page are just a few of the many videos you will find on these sites.  You should also go to these sites for additional information and other videos.
 
What this page does is sort the videos into various sections, and the video can be used for new players up to intermediates/advanced players.   With each section, there may be some videos that are slightly more advanced techniques (they are marked ADVANCED).  Look at the videos, practice when the courts open with someone else, play the game and possibly take lessons.   That is the only way you will really improve.               
 
The sections are:
·         Introduction to Pickleball
·         Serving
·         Forehand
·         Backhand
·         Return of Serve
·         Third shot
·         Dinking
·         Lobbing
·         Other techniques
·         Intermediate/Advanced techniques
·         Playing singles
·         Self-practice (especially these times of closure)
