Practice makes perfect 💯.
The CSDR ranked hitting a perfect 3rd just above throwing a perfect game, scoring 100 points in an NBA game, and hitting a home run off a 100-mph fastball. 📈

Who doesn’t love a good trick shot? 🤩. Here’s First Dink Foundation volunteer Sarah giving the backwards tweener a shot! With a little help from our coaches, she’ll be adding that move to her skillset in no time. Practicing trickier shots is a great way to build consistency!

National Pickleball Day is ☝️ week away!. How are you planning to celebrate? Consider this drill to build precision, footwork, and ball control. “Keep Me in the Loop” keeps players inside a hula hoop, helping beginners focus their aim and improve their dinking skills at the net.

When you enroll your child in a First Dink Foundation program or clinic, you're doing more than signing them up for a sport… You're investing in their confidence, coordination, and character.
