PICKLEBALL SPINS, TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

STAGE 1 OF PICKLEBALL ADVANCED PLAY REQUIRES THE PLAYER TO DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO ADD SPIN TO A VARIETY OF COMMON PICKLEGBALL SHOTS DURING MATCH PLAY.   AND TO COUNTER THE EFFECTS OF INCOMING BALLS  WITH VARIOUS TYPES OF SPIN.
Many Intermediate players stuck in the 3.0 to 3.5 rut have not been able to add this skill to their game.  Or recreational players are simply not interested in learning  the science of spin.  That is their choice to make when  playing the game. 
However many of these same players, cringe when their opponents send them a curving ball that does a crazy bounce after it hits the court. Some spin masters can hit each shot and return with a different kind of spin on every ball.  The same applies to their service.
My second pickleball book, entitled "PICKLEBALL INTERMEDIATE REQUIRED SKILLS FOR ADVANCED PLAY." will contain an entire chapter with illustrations on the science of spin.

UNFORCED ERRORS A PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WORST NIGHTMARES

DOUBLES PICKLEBALL LADDER LEAGUE TEMPLATES.

DOUBLES PICKLEBALL TEAM LADDER LEAGUES TEMPLATES The USAPA webpage under Tournaments has software templates for most any kind of tournament imaginable.  USAPA members can obtain the software free, and register their ladder league in the same process. If 4 players can rotate in three game in one two hour period, logically 8 players or 4 teams can do the same.  I have never run a ladder league.  But I can work with templates and add or subtract to accomplish my objective. Recreational/competitive Pickleball is team related. recreational/competitive ladder leagues can and should be team related. By team related you pick your partner before the LL starts and you play with that same partner until the end of the LL.  Scores can be aggregate and represent one team.  Rotation of play will require more scheduling woos but its not rocket science.  The All Ladies Summer LL I was planned back in Summer 2019, was permanent partners, comprising 16 teams
