Stay Fit and Injury-Free with Spring Physiotherapy

This Week's Tip: Increasing Endurance for Pickleball Players

Long matches require stamina. Build your endurance with these exercises:

• Interval Training: Alternate 45-60 seconds of fast-paced running or cycling with 2 minutes of slower-paced activity. Repeat for 10-15 minutes.

• Skipping Rope: Jump rope for 45-60 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds. Repeat for 5-10 minutes.

👉Take it Further: Build your endurance safely with personalized guidance from Spring Physiotherapy. Book a Fit For Life Assessment by calling 902-453-1525 extension 2 or emailing admin@springphysio.ca.

Reminders:

Subs for Leagues

If you are subbing for a league, please make sure to:

✅ Change your name on the Swish app (on the tablet) before you start playing.

🚫 You cannot change it after you start your match.

This small step saves us a lot of time and ensures that scores don’t get uploaded to the wrong player.

Thank you for helping keep our league records accurate and running smoothly!

The 3-Minute Rule

🚨 Please remember to get off the court 3 minutes before the next booking. This allows the next players to get set up without delay. Even if not all courts are booked, always follow this rule.

Don’t wait until the next group asks you to leave—it’s uncomfortable for them and disruptive for everyone. Let’s be proactive and respectful of each other’s time on the court!

No Wet Shoes on the Courts

❄️ It’s snow and slush season! To keep our courts in top condition:

✅ Change into indoor shoes upon arrival.

✅ Always wear clean and dry sneakers on the court.

✅ Leave all wet footwear and apparel in the seating area.

This is a year-round rule, but it’s especially important in winter! Thanks for helping keep Cross Court safe and clean for everyone.

Keep your paddles up and your spirits higher! See you on the courts :)
