Dink ControlIntermediate
Dingle
10-20 min Group Pickleballs, Net
Setup
Four players on the court, two on each side of the net at the kitchen line.
Drill Instructions
1) Start two balls simultaneously, each being dinked diagonally to the player opposite. 2) Players continue dinking their respective balls until one ball is faulted (out or in the net). 3) Once the first ball is dead, whoever is still dinking screams 'DINGLE!' 4) The remaining ball then becomes live for all four players to compete for the point using the full court.
Goal
Win the majority of the 'live' ball points after the initial dink sequence.
Coach Tip
Stay low and keep your paddle out front during the double-dink phase so you aren't caught off guard when the live point starts.
Avoid
Avoid rushing the initial dinks; the goal is to keep both balls going as long as possible to maximize touches.
