Pickleball Made Simple - Illustrated

Book Synopsis: “Pickleball Made Simple” is a concise and fully illustrated collection of take-home points on how to play the sport. These fundamentals of shot selection, court positioning, and strategies are essential techniques for players at any level. The author, who considered himself an accomplished club tennis player, was surprised to find himself losing to pickleball players at the local public parks. This book is the compilation of three months of weekly 90-minute lessons along with the author’s insights of why pickleball is addictive to competitive athletes seeking the challenge of a game with a constantly changing offense and defense dynamic. This book is NOT about equipment, drills, in-depth rules, court dimensions, or etiquette and social benefits. It’s rather like having a coach with you during every game. Scanning the 14 pages of diagrams before playing is a quick preparation for performing at your best. “Whether you’re a beginner, or an experienced Pickle Ball player, this book covers it for everyone. Geri takes us from how the name of the game came about, to the qualities it will take to be an experienced player. The illustrations make it fun and challenging - just like the game itself. I knew Geri was more than your average guy the first time I had the opportunity to play pickleball with him! Just after having knee surgery, he offered to hit with me. Being an x-pro tennis player myself, I knew by his strokes he had a tennis background. I had a feeling he was someone very dynamic. This book is a gift to us all! Thank you Geri!!!… My son looked at it today and he thinks everyone should have one. When will they be for sale?” Jill Patterson Holvoet
