Holiday Pickleball Etiquette:
How to Keep It Festive on the Court

The holiday season is all about joy, connection, and a little friendly competition! Whether hitting the courts in a Santa hat or enjoying a spirited game, practicing good etiquette ensures everyone leaves with a smile. Here are some lighthearted tips to keep your pickleball games festive and fun this season.

1. Welcome New Players with Open Arms

The holidays are a great time for beginners to join the pickleball community. Be patient and encouraging, and offer quick tips if they’re open to learning. Remember, we were all beginners once!

2. Embrace the Holiday Spirit

Dress the part! Holiday-themed shirts, hats, or socks can bring a festive vibe to the court. Even something as simple as a red or green paddle grip can add some seasonal cheer.

3. Keep the Mood Light

Holiday games are about fun, not just winning. Celebrate good rallies, share a laugh over funny mishits, and keep the competition friendly. A cheerful attitude is contagious!

4. Share the Court

The holidays often bring larger crowds to the courts. Be mindful of wait times and rotate players efficiently. Including everyone ensures no one feels left out.

5. Respect Everyone’s Pace

Some players may be more competitive, while others are there just for the fun. Match your group's energy and skill level to keep the game enjoyable for all.

6. Bring the Snacks!

Nothing says “holiday cheer” like post-game treats. A small bag of cookies or a thermos of hot cocoa can go a long way in spreading the festive spirit.

7. Say Thanks and Celebrate Sportsmanship

Win or lose, thank your opponents for the game. A simple “Great rally!” or “Good game!” fosters a positive environment on the court.

Pickleball Resolutions for the New Year

The start of a new year is the perfect time to set some pickleball goals and take your game to the next level. Whether you’re a casual player or a dedicated competitor, having clear resolutions can keep you motivated and focused on improving your skills. Here are a few ideas to inspire your 2024 pickleball resolutions!

1. Master a New Shot

Is this the year you finally conquer the third-shot drop or perfect your backhand volley? Pick one shot that’s been challenging for you and commit to mastering it. Spend a few minutes each session drilling it, and watch how it transforms your game.

2. Improve Your Fitness

Let’s face it—pickleball is a game of quick movements and endurance. Add a fitness goal to your routine, like improving agility, strengthening your core, or working on balance. Even 10 minutes of stretching or light cardio before your game can make a huge difference.

3. Play in a Tournament

If you’ve never competed, 2024 could be the year you enter your first tournament. It’s a fantastic way to test your skills, meet other players, and have fun in a new environment. Start with a local event and set a goal to learn from the experience—winning is just the bonus

4. Become a More Strategic Player

This year, focus on the mental side of pickleball. Study positioning, shot selection, and when to speed up or slow down the game. Watching advanced players or taking a clinic can help you sharpen your strategy.

5. Help Grow the Game

One of the best resolutions you can make is to share your love of pickleball with others. Invite a friend to try it, mentor a beginner, or organize a casual game at your local court. Growing the pickleball community is a win for everyone!

Whatever your pickleball goals for 2025, the key is to have fun while working toward them. Progress happens one shot, one game, and one session at a time. Here’s to a new year filled with great rallies, new skills, and plenty of laughs on the court. See you out there!

How to Host a Holiday Pickleball Party

There’s no better way to celebrate the holidays than with a little pickleball and a lot of holiday cheer! Hosting a holiday-themed pickleball party is a fun way to bring friends together on and off the court. Here are some tips to make your festive gathering a smashing success:

1. Set the Scene

Create a festive atmosphere at the courts! String up some lights, hang a garland on the fence, or add a few holiday decorations near the sidelines. You can even encourage everyone to dress in red, green, or holiday-themed outfits—Santa hats and ugly sweaters are totally welcome!

2. Choose Fun Game Formats

Mix it up with a variety of game formats to keep things light and fun:

• Round Robin: Rotate players so everyone gets a chance to play with different partners.

• King/Queen of the Court: The winners stay while new challengers rotate in.

• Team Snowball Challenge: Teams compete for points with a prize for the most creative holiday-themed team name.

For a fun twist, introduce a “holiday rule,” like earning bonus points for a successful drop shot or requiring players to say “Ho Ho Ho” before serving.

3. Serve Holiday Snacks

No party is complete without snacks! Set up a table with treats like holiday cookies, peppermint bark, or hot cocoa. Add some healthy options like fruit skewers or trail mix for those looking to refuel after an intense rally.

4. Holiday Paddle Flair

Encourage players to decorate their paddles with temporary stickers or ribbons. Not only does it add to the festive vibe, but it also makes for great photo ops.

5. End with a Small Gift Exchange

A white elephant gift exchange or pickleball-themed grab bag is the perfect way to wrap up the day. Small items like paddle grips, socks, or pickleball ornaments make great gifts for players.

A holiday pickleball party is about more than just the game—it’s a chance to share laughs, make memories, and enjoy the season with fellow players. So, grab your paddles, your holiday spirit, and your favorite snacks, and get ready for a festive day on the courts!
