    Description
    An introduction to the sport of Pickleball, an activity in which participants hit a ball over a net with their racket/paddle. Players will be introduced to the fundamental rules of Pickleball including; scoring, court dimensions, the non-volley zone and faults. Furthermore, students will be taught basic strokes such as groundstrokes, volleys, dinks, serving as well as warm-up routines. Finally, participants will be taught singles and doubles strategy (e.g. getting to the non-volley line after the return-of-serve) as well as psychological skills to enhance their performance (e.g. apply Albert Bandura’s (1986) Self-Efficacy model to Pickleball).
