Safety & Risk Awareness

Pickleball is a fantastic sport for all ages — but it carries real risks, especially for older adults and those returning to physical activity. Read this before your first session.

The #1 Rule: Never Backpedal Blindly

Moving backward while looking up at a lob is the most common cause of serious falls in pickleball. Turn sideways and use a crossover step instead. Losing the point is always better than a trip to the emergency room.
