Magnetic Clipboard: Non-Active Partner’s Responsibilities

This coach’s aid serves as a checklist for all pickleball players of all skill-levels. All too often the partner not hitting the ball is simply standing on the court “waiting their turn”.  The precursor for physically hitting shots (active partner) successfully/effectively is the mental preparation that precedes the physical movements themselves. Thinking and being constantly ready and alert is what separates good pickleball players from less successful players. This coach’s aid highlights the thinking and being mentally ready component to outstanding play. Use this as a checklist for self-evaluating your own play or use it as a barometer for reflecting on your doubles’ partner’s play.  Use this coach’s aid as a lesson  plan for doubles team coaching or larger group instruction.

NOTE:  The Coach’s Magnetic Boards are made of 20 gauge galvanized steel and the pawn magnets are neodymium based.  These boards will last a long time!
