English Nationals weekend is here! 🏓🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

With some of the best players in the country battling it out, here are 13 simple ways to give yourself the best chance of winning your game.

From keeping your serve and return deep, playing low balls and taking high dinks out of the air, to moving as one with your partner and finding the right time to attack - it’s the little things can make a big difference.

Things we’ll be doing this weekend are:
🎯 Aiming for the feet
🏓 Keeping it low (or at least trying to!)
🤝 Moving as one
👀 Playing shots behind our opponents
🧘 And above all… being patient… 🤥

Don’t force the shot, wait for the opportunity and make your opponent work for the point.

Swipe through, take some tips on board and see how many you can put into practice!

Good luck to everyone competing at the English Nationals! 🩷🩶

Wowww!! What a great weekend for Pickleball Nottingham at the Sheffield Open 🏓

🥈 A huge congratulations to Hoony & Shawn, who took silver in the 3.5! They were 8–0 down in the final, fought their way back to 11–11, and eventually lost 15–12. What a comeback - especially for their first time partnering!

🥉 Sarah & Maria also took bronze in the 3.5, while Gary & Phil brought home bronze in the 3.5 too. Sarah & Gary also partnered up and took bronze in the mixed 3.5.

A special shoutout to Sheri & Mick, who won their first ever medal in the 3.0 - taking the bronze after a 15–14 battle! Their commitment says it all: they even came along to our 2-hour Intermediate session that morning for a ‘warm-up’ before heading to Sheffield. 😂👏

Plenty of medals and some seriously close games all round - fantastic to see all the hard work, practice and commitment paying off.

Well done to everyone from Pickleball Nottingham who competed this weekend… we’re proud of you all 🩷🩶
