On-the-Go Amusements: 50 Ways to Play Pickleball

Fifty cards in a pocket-sized tin, each offering a different way to spend time on the pickleball court. Some are warm-ups and skill drills, such as Shadow Practice and Slice 'n' Dice. Others are minigames that bend the rules for fun, from Pickleball Mini Golf to Pickle-Tac-Toe. There are ideas for practising alone, playing with a partner or splitting a larger group into teams, and the activities adapt easily to players of different ages and abilities.

The tin is small enough to live in a kit bag, a glove compartment or a suitcase, so it travels well on family holidays and trips to the local courts. Coaches after fresh warm-up ideas will find plenty here too. It is a cheerful gift for anyone who has caught the pickleball bug, from first-time players to seasoned regulars.
