Pickleball Training: Read the Ball, Plant Your Feet (a 6-Week Plan)

Every point is three shots — your serve, their return, your third shot — and rec players lose most of them in the transition zone. The honest fix: serve and return deep, read the return into one of six boxes (drive, drop, or lob), and plant your feet before you swing. Includes a 6-week program, footwork drills that are the conditioning, a five-number tracking sheet, and a printable plan you can take to the court.
