CrossCourt Pickleball Newsletter-October 14

Keep Growing, Keep Competing We love seeing so many of you jumping into leagues, clinics, and drop-ins, the energy on court has been incredible! As we settle into the fall schedule, remember that the best progress comes from consistency. Whether you’re drilling, playing matches, or joining a new league, every session counts toward making you a stronger, smarter player.

If you haven’t set a fall goal yet, now’s the perfect time, pick one thing to work on (serve placement, dinks, patience at the kitchen) and stay with it for a few weeks. Small improvements turn into big breakthroughs.
