GAME of TENS pickleball drill

At my first pickleball tournament last weekend I discovered that when I get into dinking rallies (very rarely, as it happens) the better players, rather than dinking them back, attack them and drive them straight at me. Clearly my dinks are not very good! This video talks through a conditioned game for 3 players that is designed to develop controlled consistent dinks that are not attackable but also, conversely, how to punish weak dinks from your opponents. The fact that it’s a scored game and competitive makes it more interesting and more fun. If you watch the full 19 minute video there are some useful coaching tips along the way. The scoring system used is a little confusing at first but could easily be amended.
