About Practice Pickleball
Practice should be within everyone’s reach
We built Practice Pickleball to make it easier to find a useful drill, understand it at a glance, and turn it into a complete session. It is the resource we wanted beside the court: practical, trustworthy, and ready for the players who actually showed up.
Good training knowledge should not be scattered across bookmarks, half-remembered videos, and instructions passed along without context. It should be organized well enough to share—and simple enough to use.
The drill repository
A library made to leave the screen
The repository is the foundation of Practice Pickleball. It brings drills from coaches, players, established practice traditions, and our own editorial work into one consistent format. Every page answers the questions that matter on court: where to stand, who does what, how to rotate, what success looks like, and what to watch for.
You can explore the library directly, but it also powers the session generator. The same structured details that make a drill understandable allow the planner to choose drills that fit your level, goals, group, and available time.
The work behind the library
Selected and shaped by hand
Drills are not automatically scraped and published. We choose them deliberately, study the available references, and turn them into clear instructions for this particular library. That editorial work is what makes separate entries feel like parts of the same useful resource.
- 01
Select
Keep drills with a clear purpose and a meaningful place in practice.
- 02
Review
Check the source, the setup, the goal, and whether the drill can actually run.
- 03
Describe
Write original, courtside-friendly directions on how to run the drill.
- 04
Label
Add levels, themes, timing, roles, targets, and coaching cues consistently.
“Reviewed” means that an entry has the information needed for this repository and planner. It is not an official coaching certification. Each drill page also shows its references and when they were last checked, where a reference is available.
Real groups, clear roles
From two players to four—when the drill allows it
Many drills are first demonstrated for two people: perhaps one hitter and one feeder, or two players doing the same work. Simply adding two people does not make a four-player drill.
When a useful four-player version is possible, we write it out. The adaptation explains where everyone stands, who hits or feeds, how the rotation works, whether repetitions are reduced, and whether the timing should change. When no honest adaptation works, we leave four players unsupported rather than giving half the group an unclear job.
Solo drills receive the same treatment: the repository distinguishes court, wall, and rebounder practice and explains how the available surface changes the exercise.
Why we share it
By players, for players
Pickleball began with families and friends improvising a game they could enjoy together. That welcoming, social character still feels inseparable from the sport.
We see the same spirit whenever someone explains a drill at open play, feeds one more basket for a partner, or shares the small correction that finally made a shot click. Practice Pickleball is our contribution to that tradition: players organizing what they have learned so more players can benefit from it.
This will always be a living library. Sources can improve, instructions can become clearer, and new adaptations can make a drill useful to more people. The aim is not to own the knowledge of practice, but to care for it and pass it on well.
If you know a drill we should consider, spot something we can explain better, or find a problem with the site, send us a note.
