We are a social bunch and I have enjoyed every minute of pickleball. After playing or watching countless number of games, I thought it might be a good idea to list what I think makes someone a good playing partner or opponent.
Enjoys playing the game, win or lose
Picks up the ball whenever possible and throws or hits it back rather than kick it or slapping it back
Avoids giving unsolicited advice
Plays with all levels, encouraging beginners
Makes line calls fairly with input from partner
Calls NVZ fault on self and playing partner
Attempts to avoid slamming the ball at newcomers and less skilled players
Makes sure that all players are given equal time on the courts
Avoids targeting the weaker player (with the exception of tournaments) for the sole purpose of winning
Respects all players regardless of skill level
