Pickleball is America's fastest-growing sport - and junior participation is exploding. Schools are adding it to PE programmes, clubs are building junior leagues, and kids who played tennis or badminton are discovering that pickleball rewards quick hands, smart tactics, and teamwork over raw power. Yet no book exists specifically for the junior player, the parent learning the game alongside them, and the coach building a junior programme.
Pickle to Succeed fills that gap. The complete pickleball guide - from the third-shot drop to kitchen dominance to doubles strategy - written with the junior player, the parent, and the coach equally in mind.
What's Inside - 36 Chapters Across 6 Sections + 8 Appendices:- Own the Sport - what pickleball is, the rules (junior-friendly), why pickleball, community and culture, goal-setting in a new junior sport
- Own the Equipment - choosing paddles from beginner to advanced, balls and court shoes, indoor vs outdoor courts, school pickleball and PE programmes, budgeting honestly
- Master the Technique - the serve, return of serve, the third-shot drop (the game-changer), the dink game, volleys and drives at the kitchen line
- Train to Improve - doubles strategy, footwork and movement, strength and conditioning for pickleball, drilling with purpose, recovery and injury prevention
- Compete and Progress - tournament day, finding junior tournaments, the college and pro pathway, the mental game, cross-training with other sports
- Live the Sport - junior nutrition, sleep and school balance, parents' guide, coaches' guide, pickleball as a lifelong sport
- Three expansion chapters: Singles Pickleball, Junior Pickleball Decision Tree, From Junior to Adult, Self-Assessment, Apps and Modern Pickleball Tools, Etiquette and Open Play Culture
- Eight appendices: Glossary of Pickleball Terms; Resources; Shot Library; Drill Library; Doubles Patterns Library; Rating Systems Compared (DUPR, UTPR); Warm-Up and Cool-Down Protocols; Reading List for Junior Pickleball Families
- Junior Athletes (8-21): all the shots, kitchen strategy, doubles tactics, and the tournament pathway from school programme to sanctioned junior events
- Parents: clear rules explanations, what to watch for at courtside, how to support without coaching from the sideline, and which paddle is actually worth buying at each level
- Coaches: junior pickleball development reference - age-appropriate progressions, drilling structure, physical development around growth, and the school-to-club pipeline
- Tennis and Badminton Crossovers: a full chapter on what transfers and what you need to reset (hint: the dink is not a drop shot)
Evidence-based throughout - drawn from USA Pickleball (USAP), the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA), peer-reviewed sport science, and the lived experience of coaching junior players in one of sport's fastest-growing categories.
The To Succeed Coaching Team has written the definitive junior pickleball guide - whether your athlete plays in a school gym, a dedicated pickleball club, or a converted tennis court in the backyard.
The sport that is eating tennis is ready for its first proper junior guide. Here it is.
