A lesson for intermediate players by Pickleball Journey

This video provides an intermediate pickleball lesson that covers various strategies and techniques through live play and coaching.

The coach emphasizes the importance of positioning and making the right shot choices, advising players to stop moving when the opponent hits the ball to be in a better position to react.

The video also gives feedback on using soft shots and lobs, noting that a good lob should go higher to give the player more time to recover.

The coach discusses the balance between being aggressive and patient, encouraging players to "work" the point to build a rally before going for an aggressive shot.

The video explains the difference in technique when hitting a ball out of the air (a volley) versus off a bounce (a dink).

The importance of communication between partners is highlighted, especially when covering the middle of the court.

The coach also ends on a motivational note, telling the players to focus on the good rallies and be confident even when they lose a point.

Key Points:

Positioning: Stop moving when the opponent hits the ball to be in a better position to react.
Lobs: A good lob should go higher to give you more time to recover.
Patience: Work the point to build a rally before going for an aggressive shot.
Volleys vs. Dinks: Use a different technique for volleys versus dinks.
Communication: Communicate with your partner, especially when covering the middle.
