Hey there, welcome back to Pickleball Daily.
2
I'm Spencer
3
and today we're going to be going through the very first things you need to know before stepping onto the pickleball court.
4
First, it's 44 feet long by 20 feet wide.
5
When you're going to enter the court, you should have about 60 feet clearance lengthwise and 30 feet clearance widthwise.
6
At the net, we have 34 inches to get over in the middle
7
but at either end it gets up to 36 inches high
8
so you're gonna have higher percentage shooting down the middle next
9
let's talk about the serve that's going to be the first shot you're going to want to know
10
when hitting pickleball it can be underhand only it can't be overhead
11
or above your waistline here when you serve though you can either bounce it
12
and serve it cross court beyond the kitchen we'll get there
13
or you can hit it out of the air
14
when the serve comes back to you though it needs to
15
bounce not only as you hit the return of serve
16
but also hitting the ball coming back to you on the
17
return the bounce rule is bouncing the ball on both sides before we hit a volley
18
which is a shot that's going to be out of the air serve
19
and stay behind the line wait for the ball to bounce in front of you
20
and then you can move up into the court
21
when you're returning the serve you can return wait for the
22
ball to bounce in front of you then run up
23
and any shot after
24
that can be taken out of the air next let's talk about the shots
25
that we can choose for the third shot in pickleball serve first return second the The third can either be a drive,
26
which is a fast shot that's low to the net, or it can be a drop, which is something that you want to bounce into the kitchen.
27
It's more patient that way.
28
Or you can hit it above your opponents and try to lob it behind them.
29
That's something that you're going to try to get over their head and bounce behind the court.
30
Kind of hard to do.
31
Low percentage.
32
Not recommended it next let's talk about the let a let is
33
when i'll serve the pickleball it hits the net
34
and still goes in we still continue playing this serve today in old rules we would do a do -over
35
but now you gotta keep it up let's talk about the
36
kitchen the kitchen is this light zone here that's seven feet from the net.
37
I can't stand in this zone and hit a ball out of the air, a volley.
38
I have to keep my feet behind this white line if I'm going to go for a volley.
39
I also need to remember that my momentum carrying me into the kitchen matters.
40
Even if I have a great shot and I fall into the kitchen afterwards, it's a fault.
41
A fault means that there's something
42
that went wrong in the point causing there to be a side out a side out means
43
that the serve is going to go to the next person
44
it could be my partner as a team gets two serves each side
45
or it could be the serve going to the opponent's side
46
and now our team's on defense next let's talk about the
47
dink a dink is a shot where all four of our opponents are up here at the net
48
and we're going to gently hit it back to them trying
49
to make it bounce into the kitchen a dink is really
50
a miniature shot we're not trying to hit a lot of power
51
or pace into it we're trying to be consistent there's a few things in pickleball
52
that are confusing like footwork let me see
53
if I can break it down to be a little bit more simple for you
54
when we're moving into the court
55
and we need to stop we're going to execute a split step that's
56
when I take my feet from the middle of my body
57
and split them out wider than my shoulders stopping my momentum
58
and getting low that's gonna help me before the ball has
59
been hit by my opponents to react to the ball coming to me be patient
60
and split step early the next footwork
61
that can be kind of confusing is once we get up
62
to the kitchen we don't often want to be turning our hips and running after the ball to get to a dink.
63
This is going to take too much time and get us off balance.
64
We need to shuffle step and act like a crab.
65
This way, you're going to always have your hips
66
and shoulders pointed towards your opponent and you should be making contact with the ball in front of you.
67
Next, let's talk about a few archetypes of players that you might meet on the court for the first time.
68
Most importantly is a banger.
69
That's somebody who never wants to hit the ball soft.
70
and always tries to drive that player can hit a lot of out balls
71
or balls into the net so
72
when you're playing them think about how many you're going to
73
let go behind you shoulder high let it fly next there's still a couple terms
74
that we need to know on the pickleball court to keep
75
safe we don't want to get into the pickleball jar
76
or the pickle jar and that's when we get 11 zeroed we We don't score any points and our opponents beat us, get to 11.
77
That's getting pickled.
78
But we also sometimes say pickle when a ball comes rolling through another team's court.
79
Even if they're in the middle of the point, we need to scream pickle and let them know
80
that they need to stop play so that they don't step on the ball and end up hurting themselves.
81
Safety is the most important thing in pickleball, so I'm also going to tell you a last footwork step.
82
That is never trying to run backwards like this when a ball gets put over your head.
83
If somebody lobs you well, I want you to shuffle and go backwards like this, remembering the crab footwork from the kitchen.
84
When you first start a game of pickleball, the score will be 0 -0 -2.
85
That's really confusing.
86
There's three numbers and we end with a two.
87
The first number is how many points you have the second number is how many points your opponents have
88
and the third number is just a server indicator number it's always going to be a one
89
or a two we start with a two so
90
that the team who starts serving in a game doesn't have an inherent advantage
91
and the team after they lose that serve will have a side out
92
and the serve will go to their opponents for example I serve
93
that ball out on 0 -0 -2 now my opponents are
94
going to serve on their right side of the court on 0 -0 -1
95
that means they'll get two service opportunities one for each of the two teammates
96
after they miss a serve on 0 -0 -1 like this
97
the serve is just going to be handed over to the partner.
98
They don't switch sides.
99
But after that, if we're over here on 0 -0 -2 after that missed serve and we score an ace,
100
then I'm going to keep serving and switch sides with my partner.
101
That's how we score points in pickleball.
102
Only on your serve.
103
And after you score a point, you have to switch sides and keep serving.
104
After the game and we get to 11 points, No matter if you got pickled, you're going to come up to the middle of the net and you're going to paddle tap your opponents and still say,
105
good game, thanks for playing.
106
Another reason to paddle tap might be after each point, when your partner or you do something really well.
107
If it's a great shot, you say great shot and you give them a paddle tap.
108
If they hit it into the net, you can still say great try and paddle tap them anyways.
109
Paddle tapping is just a way to support your partners and your opponents at the end of the game.
110
Don't paddle tap too hard though
111
because some players really care about the surface of their paddle and might be showing you the grip instead.
112
That's alright, just paddle tap their grip.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
