The initial stages of learning pickleball are exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

New rules, strategies, and techniques can sometimes be difficult to get started. If you feel that way, don't worry. What you need are the fundamentals to help you take your pickleball game to the next level.

These are the 5 Tips that we believe will help you improve in your first stage as a pickleball player:

1. Simple Gameplay - Focus on mastering the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced strategies and strokes.
2. Embrace mistakes - Use them as an opportunity to learn and adjust your technique.
3. Dress comfortably - Wearing clothing and footwear appropriate for movement is key.
4. Stretch and Warm Up - A proper warm up is essential before every game or training session to stay active and also prevent injuries. Stretch and get ready for the game.
5. Invest in quality - Don't settle for inferior paddles , balls, equipment, etc. At Tauron we offer you the highest quality adapted to all types of players and levels.

Getting started with pickleball doesn't have to be daunting, so let's take some time to work through each of these tips and set yourself up for success on the court.

1. SIMPLE GAME

Watching professional pickleball matches on YouTube is great and will help you discover different strategies and positioning, but don't be fooled into thinking you can just apply it to your own game.

They make lobs and drop shots that may seem easy, but they take years of practice to be this effective.

Most of the time, the technique, strategy and strokes of professionals do not help a beginner's game, but can actually make it more complicated. That is why we recommend starting with the basic strokes of forehand, backhand, dink and volley.

2. ACCEPT MISTAKES

Taking a defensive stance is a natural response when you make a mistake, but that's not going to help you on the court. When starting out in pickleball, like any other sport, listening and asking questions is a key part of improving.

Realizing and owning your mistakes is the most valuable tool you can have early on, as if you plan to play many more games, early learning will have a very positive effect on your future game.

3. DRESS COMFORTABLY

Clothing has less to do with the mechanics of the game, but it does play a key role in your performance on the court. It will influence your speed, elasticity and therefore the level you will perform on the court.

Quality clothing like the one we offer at Tauron will prevent unnecessary chafing and provide better breathability. Good shoes can also prevent unwanted injuries.

4. STRETCH AND WARM UP

Speaking of elasticity, this has less to do with the fibers of your clothing and more to do with the fibers of your muscles.

A pre- and post-run warm-up can improve your results enormously, and more importantly, can prevent serious injuries that keep you off the track for long periods of time.

• Static Stretching - Holding a position for an extended period of time. It's the perfect way to cool down your muscles after a game or workout.
• Dynamic Stretching - Dynamic stretching involves continuous movements that mimic in-game actions. It is a gentle exercise that gradually wakes up your muscles, improves your flexibility and range of motion so that your performance can be at a high intensity.

5. INVEST IN QUALITY

Just as going out on the track without the right clothing and footwear is a big mistake, going out on the track with the wrong equipment is synonymous with starting at a clear disadvantage.

At Tauron we know the importance of this, and that is why we offer you a free trial of our paddles, so you can find your perfect companion.
