Don't be a Dill

Think of the court as a sacred temple and your fellow players as monks. No sudden movements, loud noises, or wild dance moves—unless you win, then maybe a little jig is okay.

Save your karaoke skills for the shower. On the court, keep it down so everyone can hear the sweet sound of pickleball glory.

Channel your inner Judge Judy. If you’re unsure, give your opponent the benefit of the doubt. Remember, karma’s watching!

Use your words, not telepathy. Shouting “Mine!” or “Yours!” is much more effective than staring intensely at your partner.

Celebrate like you’ve been there before. No need for backflips or cartwheels. Save those for the Olympics.

Tapping paddles is the pickleball equivalent of a handshake. It’s a way of saying, “Good game!” without the risk of sweaty palms.

Let the server serve at their own pace. No need to rush them like you’re in a fast-food drive-thru. Patience, grasshopper.

If you mess up, own it. Saying “Oops, my bad!” is much better than pretending the net moved on its own.

Keep a smile on your face, even if you’re losing. Remember, it’s just a game. And if all else fails, there’s always ice cream after.

Hope this brings a smile to your face and makes your pickleball games even more enjoyable! 😄🏓
